The Indian National Congress Party, which has dominated the nations politics since India's independence in 1947, looks like it will be facing defeat by the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. The BJP has fielded a pro-business leader, Narendra Modi, as its candidate for the Prime Minister's post. Celebrations broke out with singing, dancing, bands and even elephants in the mix as initial Election Commission numbers indicated a hugh lead for the BJP. Supporters of the Party celebrated in the streets in Gujarat, the state where Narendra Modi has served as chief minister since 2001. Modi tweeted: " Good days are here to come." Prime Minister Singh's administration had it popularity decline after allegations of corruption that sparked protest.This relates to AP Government and Politics because India's government is basically starting from scratch again, so they will go through trials and errors just like the United States did when trying to write the Constitution and how to govern the states.
I really want to watch how India's new government plays out, I hope every thing goes well for the country.

We have something special in America. Our government changes quite frequently, and without a huge riot. Because of that, I think we tend to forget what a big deal it is to have a new leader. I am also interested to see how this situation plays out.
