Political parties only vie for power When parties are out of power they feel the pinch of unemployment, loss of power, position and authority, Congress party has ruled India for close to six decades, When out of power they blame the now ruling party, of which they themselves were specific targets. Congress now feels self assured that they are projecting as the responsible opposition. For the first time in the History of independent India, BJP/NDA introduce the virus of blocking Parliament for longest spell so far., Bjp/NDA now finds it opportune to blame Congress of regressive methods. For too long Congress considered as their right to perpetually rule India and it did so with vengeance with decimated opposition. The resentment of naming very project etc under Nehru -Gandhi family is because of appropriation of all development. Not that all their policies have not contributed towards growth and development as propagated by the ruling party, but that is the way the politics survives, The BJp/NDA are resting on the pedestal created by the previous party. The trends in Indian politics have demonstrated that the idea of permanent place in politics is farfetched. In Delhi AAP, a new party has obliterated both the Congress and BJP, in fact mauled, decimated them very badly. In Kolkata, Tamilnadu, and Kerela the major parties fortune are on decline. The BJP/NDA is under illusion that aspires for pan India foot prints like before and it is not going to happen anymore with the rise of local, regional parties, which is the flavor of times .The BJP/NDA has won the majority in Lok sabha elections on a diet of speeches, promises, slogans, which are wearing out. The ruling party is going lock, stock and barrel to demolish Congress party, specially the leadership of Sonia and Raul, smarting under the assumption that they will have a free run in the absence of leaderless Congress .The demise of National parties, as a monolith is already evident in some states. BJP forgets that itself is sheltering under one leader of Narendra Modi. There is no other leader in BJP who can assume the mantle of this charismatic individual or appear of even coming close to him. The regional parties are a force to be reckoned with and only broad Based alliances can be a hope of retaining power base in future, The NDA with uncharacteristic coalition in Kashmir is an example of strange bedfellows coming to gether to share power in an unholy alliance of convenience. Like the Congress the BJP is also experimenting with defections to capture power by the back door. The results in Bihar by mahaghatbandan has shown the BJP about its arrogance and drunk on majority in Lokh Sabha, as a permanent flag or badge to display
The electorate day in and day out is fed up with BJP and Congress resorting to blame game at every point, as if that is the cause of political paralysis, The ruling parties are using the state machinery to silence and coerce the opposition parties into meek submission The energies and strategies are used to show the opposition in bad light ,as if to explain their inability towards growth and development The religious, food, National and patriotic intolerance is a regressive approach, as constructive energies are frittered away on non issues. The idea of secularism is subjected to subjective interpretation Look at the massive price rise across the board on all commodities that is burdening the Nation, but there is no debate about the control or about mechanisms to check the spiral. It is not a priority for any party. Everything seems to be normal about the crushing effect on average citizen .Parties are securing win by offering goodies that are a burden on every citizen ,pandering to a few, to control power. These popular gimmicks are eating into the vitals of economy. The trouble with India since independence has been overdependence on National monolithic parties, which must change and it has happened in recent electoral outcomes Both BJP and Congress must realize their utopian dreams of all India presence is a myth not sustainable for too long The change of parties at very elections alone will ensure accountability, The progress, reforms, growth, development are not parameters to continue with another term Winston Churchill lost after winning the war and Indira Gandhi bounced back to power after a short exile on excesses of emergency Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
