    NCP, M. Karunanidhi’s DMK, Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress and Farooq

    This herculean effort that lasted a month and enfranchised a fifth of humanity will
    definitely go down in Indian history as one of our successful endeavors. It was also
    one of the least violent elections in our nation’s history, clearly underlining the
    maturity of our election process if not our democratic process.

    This election witnessed all parts of our nation participating enthusiastically. People
    defied boycott calls made by separatists in Kashmir and Maoists/Naxals in
    Chhattisgarh, Orissa and Jharkhand. People stood in extremely hot conditions to
    execute their right.
