Indian Elections 2009: Tid-bits

A joke heard in Kerala during the elections:

Son: Father, what is the Indian-American nuclear pact?

Father: I don’t know much about it, son. But it must be a good thing because the Communists are opposing it.

The Communists were opposing the Congress in the elections as well. Is that why the electorate thought the Congress-led UPA is good for the country and voted overwhelmingly for the alliance?
