congress did not get the mandate to rule. under sonia's leadership, they have got one of the lowest number of seats 145/540. for power, congress has taken the support of communists against who they fought elections in wb, keral and tripura. she has also taken support from dmk, who were earlier disliked due to their support to ltte, who killed rajiv. she also took support from sharad pawar, who was expelled from congress for having raised the question of her italian origin. this is just an opportunistic alliance for lust of power and not for serving the nation.
