India is going to the General-Elections few months from now, perhaps historical being on the back drop of the historic US Presidential election, where people(especially the Gen-Next) swayed by the call, "CHANGE WE NEED", went out overwhelmingly to cast vote and thus fruitfully cherished seemingly unprecedented yet a historical dream to send to White House; their first Black and an African-American President, Mr.Barack Obama.
The entire Peace-Seeking civilized countries of the Globe, as they have, may be of late, but certainly, a welcome conviction, that the true Dawn of Peace and Civility can, and only can, descend unto the Globe, if and only if the same Dawns in India.
Hence thrust upon us the people of India, again like in the US, especially on our Gen- Next, this never before Blessed Call of Time, to arise, awake and join together to act decisively in the coming General Election.
Posted here today this post that refers to the 'historical post-election speech' of the then outgoing PM, Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee, being retrieved from; Shri LK Advaniji's Portal ;
========================================================
Dear All,
Today is our Beloved Shri Atalji's 85th BIRTH-DAY.
But he has wished not to celebrate his Birth-Day this 'Terror-Struck' year !
It would be timely for me to quote and put down today in this Forum of his most Trusted Lieutenant, Life-Long Companion Shri Advaniji who Shri Vajpayeeji himself declared to publicly, as his brother like LAXMAN, his May 13,2004 Post Election Speech;
May 13, 2004
New Delhi
Dear Countrymen,
Elections to the 14th Lok Sabha are over. The voters have given their verdict. I accept the verdict. This evening, I submitted my resignation to Respected Rashtrapatiji.
India is the world’s largest democracy. It is always with the will of the people that governments have been formed – and changed. This power of democracy is a matter of pride for our country, something which we must always cherish, preserve and further strengthen.
I thank all of you sincerely for giving me an opportunity to serve the nation as Prime Minister since March 1998. Your goodwill and affection were my greatest asset. Your support and trust were my greatest source of strength.
When you gave us the mandate, the nation was faced with the challenge of stability, good governance and development. It is for you – and history – to judge what we achieved during this period.
I do, however, have the satisfaction that our country is now stronger and more prosperous than when you placed the reigns of office in my hands. India’s strides in social and economic development during the past few years have announced her capability as well as resolve to emerge as a Developed Nation soon. My party and alliance may have lost, but India has won.
Friends, ours is a multi-religious, multi-lingual and multi-ethnic nation. However, in spite of her immense diversities, our national culture has woven an unbreakable thread of unity since antiquity. We tried to replicate this ethos of unity in diversity in running our coalition government. We strengthened Indian democracy by demonstrating that coalition governance can be stable, and also successfully deal with the challenges before the nation.We reinforced the bonds of national unity and social solidarity. We laid emphasis on resolving contentious issues through dialogue, in an atmosphere of peace and mutual goodwill.
Today, I especially thank the people of Jammu & Kashmir for once again reposing their faith in democracy and for giving a firm rebuff to the forces of militancy. India has shown its resolve and capability to overcome the challenge of cross-border terrorism. India has also embarked on a historic peace process with our neighbour. It will remain my lifelong wish to see that we herald a new chapter of peace, cooperation and friendship in South Asia, with the People’s Republic of China and with other nations in the world.
Dear Countrymen, we have given up office, but not our responsibility to serve the nation. We have lost an election, but not our determination. Victory and defeat are a part of life, which are to be viewed with equanimity.
We will always extend our hand of cooperation to the new government in all its endeavours that are in the interest of the nation and the people.
I thank you again for all your warm support.
Thank you.
Jai Hind.

We have to shed down all our inhibitions and resolve together to GIFT him on this year of his birth; his Life-Time Fruit of Cherishment as stated above, " I thank all of you sincerely for giving me an opportunity to serve the nation as Prime Minister since March 1998. Your goodwill and affection were my greatest asset. Your support and trust were my greatest source of strength".
This must be the best and the most aspired Mission for all our beloved Gen-Next and all our stalwarts.
'Let our house burn, but the mouse must die' attitude; wll only be Suicidal !
Let's all be aware !!
MERRY X-MAS !
