Elections in India
Very important general elections are being held in five states of India. Of these two states went to election on 13.4.2011. Tamilnadu posted 75-80% polling, Kerala 75% and Pudduchery 75%. The three states saw peaceful voting barring some stray incidents. The high turnout is unusual as is the absence of any major violent incident. Is our democracy finally coming of age? We can rejoice only after all the six phases of voting in highly contested state of West Bengal shows respectable turnout with no violence. Victory to the people of India and all the best for choosing good governments!
