India: Manmohan Singh will be back in office.

India's Congress Party wins strong support in national election
By Mark Magnier and Pavitra Ramaswamy

Reporting from New Delhi -- India's election took five weeks, cost hundreds of millions of dollars and involved 700 million eligible voters from the snow-capped Himalayas to the beaches of south India. But the wait was worth it for the ruling Congress Party alliance, which today won a surprisingly strong showing at the polls.

In front of party headquarters in New Delhi, supporters set off fireworks and people danced in the streets, some carrying posters of party leader Sonia Gandhi, others singing "Jai Ho," from the "Slumdog Millionaire" soundtrack.

"I express my deep sense of gratitude to the people of the country for the massive mandate," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said.
