Death penalty in Nirbhaya case

We say justice delayed is justice denied. But kudos to the authority for acting fast on the NIRBHAYA case with a quick turnaround. I am glad the decision was apt and swift. No question about it. The poor victim's soul will get some solace. However I smell a political angle to it. Delhi and states in North India are having elections this winter. Last winter Congress was facing all the brickbats in Delhi in general and India in particular over this heinous crime. We Indians are emotional in nature and often have a short memory. This decision is certainly going to help Congress in a long way in wiping out its image as a non-performing party. Hope these kind of Swift decisions are extended to other cases also. Does Bitti Mohanty ring a bell or forgotten in this hullabaloo.
