The elections are over
Listen to this article :
The elections are over. As we wait for May 16, when the votes will be counted, we can sit back and ask ourselves: What about these elections do we remember the most? Here's a random list.
Butterflies: No one knows who's going with whom, who's flitting in which direction. Our leaders and parties have switched friends with ease, turned enemies into allies, and generally put the punters on tenterhooks. That's a good thing, even if ideological infidelity isn't. Karunanidhi, who was pro-Lankan Tamils, hemmed and hawed about his position on the LTTE's terrorist ways. He couldn't make up his mind about whether LTTE boss Prabhakaran was a friend or a foe. Finally, he hugged the Congress and jumped into a surprise alliance with Sonia, whose husband Rajiv Gandhi was killed by the LTTE.
