It's good news that the communists will have no influence in the Indian union government policies for the next five years. Certainly, BJP's defeat is also welcome as it could try  to be more dominating to the neighbouring countries. It would be better if the new government tried to look into nepal policies with a new outlook. However, in any case, not  much will change as their nepal policy is mostly set by the babus in the south block and I feel nothing will really change with the same leadership continuing in India.

On a different note, BJP's jashwant singh won from darjeeling with a huge margin of 2.5 lakhs while the party's alliance is going to sit in the opposition after a humiliating defeat. Darjeeling's gorkhaland dream might remain a distant dream for long, it seems. However, the defeat of the CPM in Bengal must be a positive news there too.
