The assembly elections in the 5 states are over. For some the results brought cheers and for some it is a moment not worth remembering. Win and Loss is part and parcel of elections. However, this time the margin of Win and Defeat is huge. The anger amongst voters was palpable. The shear increase in voting percentage by more then 18% is true story of Democracy. The message to the parties during these elections has been crystal clear. "DO NOT TAKE US FOR GRANTED".

Message is there for everyone in the elections. But, the message for the two main political parties must worry them for future elections. For the grand old party (Congress) the message given by voters must be giving sleepless night for them. Losing many seats even in the main bastion of the first family (Amethi & Rae Bareli) is real cause of concern. Most worrying aspect for them is that the family names are not working in present INDIA. India of 1980s and now have changed dramatically. Generation Next (18-40) do not go by "Charisma" anymore. The party needs to change the way it works. Otherwise such defeats will become routine for them. The party also needs to come out of "Sycophancy" which has been hall mark of the party.

Other side of the spectrum the BJP also needs to worry. Although, they have won in GOA comprehensively and Win in Punjab that also due to the allies does not give any solace to the party. They are very lucky that they did not get routed in the state of UTTARAKAND. The loss in UP along with the grand old party does not give the party any reason to rejoice. They may rejoice the loss of other side. However, the reality is that they have no reason to rejoice. If they do not do repair work they are doomed just like the grand old party.

The morale of the story after these elections for both party are simple. Both need to shed certain way of working. The grand old party needs to understand that the Minority vote bank will not work anymore. Also they cannot afford to piggy back on a family name any further. They also need some good spokes person who can speak at a right time and right moment. For the BJP it needs to understand that Majority vote bank will not work in new India. They also need to shed the urban India party image. They can never win an election when they do not have any support from rural India. Both for the sake of the nation need to remove the egos and work towards the nation building. Otherwise both parties will be history and will have no space and will lose further respect within the country.
