PC talks of "missed opportunities", says poll result to be

Union Minister P Chidambaram today said whatever happens on May 16, the day Lok Sabha election results are announced, will be a "direct product" of "critical" years of 2010-2011 which witnessed anti-corruption movement and lamented about "missed opportunities".
The senior Congress leader also said whoever began to communicate is going to reap benefits in the elections.
"It is quite clear that the critical years were 2010 and 2011. Let's not anticipate what will happen on May 16. Whatever will happen on May 16, I think will be a direct product of those critical years of 2010-2011.
"Looking back, it is very clear that opportunities were missed, looking back it is very clear that even the principal opposition party didn't see the opportunities in the 2010-2011. I think those were critical years," Chidambaram said.

The Finance Minister said this while participating in an interactive session with The Indian Express newspaper's Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta at the launch of the senior journalist's book "Anticipating India".
Chidambaram said there were some more phases of Lok Sabha elections, so he could not really say anything to hit the headlines.
"Clearly, 2010 and 2011, we (political class) should have communicated to the people of India. I think the disconnect between the political class and people grew and I think whoever ....Began to communicate is going to reap benefit," he said in the programme attended by several dignitaries including his ministerial colleagues Salman Khurshid and Manish Tewari and BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad.
