It's just about a couple of month before we get into the forthcoming loksabha elections . The roars of RAGA, NAMO and AK are souring high and the gossip at tea are turning into a debate. Amidst of this insane pre-election fanaticism the fear which is most likely to become reality as soon as results are out can't be neglected
The outcome of the forthcoming general elections is unlikely to be very clear, for it is going to be a fractured verdict resulting into yet another unstable coalition built around several political formations, having nothing in common in terms of ideology or political agenda. It's not long ago when we saw the decline of national parties like the Congress and the BJP and the regional parties, formed around factors like caste, region, religion or personality of the leader, became more decisive in government formation. Again the time is same, the stage is set and fear of bad coalition is taking it's form. The problem with a coalition is that since these parties lack a clear national perspective and agenda, the future coalition is unlikely to exhibit any coherence or direction in governance, which again would be a built-in limitation of the government.More the involvement of these regional party increases in national politics more unstable the resulting government would be. BSP, SP, TMC, DMK , AIADMK , SHIV SENA, TDP, NCP , JD(U) , NC-Congress are the old players and will leave no stone unturned when it comes to playing a national role,and the way AAP rose up to popularity it will be interesting to see what new it brings to the political enthusiasts.We will be witnessing the dirty game of alignment very soon where opposites will come together and provide us another 5 years of great show. However, with all these limitations and prospects of instability, one couldn't argue that governmental stability will be a casualty.
The Republic of India progressing towards it's general election can only be saved by it's people, if they decide to choose among the available leaders, who does not represent only them but represents the republic as a whole. I'm laughing when i write this because in the nation with so much of diversity ,can people choose some one unanimously. Well psychology tell it's impossible but the history reminds me it can be done.
Surrendering to this wonderful democracy we have, lets wait for time to tell.

Nicely elucidated Anurag!
ReplyDeleteThere should be only 2 party in India to eliminate any form of coalition government. This has really ruined the integrity of democracy as these party especially minor party whine about pity matters and the mob of India easily digressed.
Unfortunately India has very few good leaders who can fight for real cause selflessly.
