Ever since the BJP has been in the saddle at the centre, the appetite to be in power in every state is increasing by leaps and bounds Either by win or by defections is the standard practice . It started with Goa luring defectors with position and power immediately when BJP had no mandate It them succeeded in Karnataka .All defectors received postings. It is now been repeated in MP. with Scindia getting Raja Sabha nominations and with a hint of central ministership to boot, Sachin Pilot and fortunes of Rajasthan are keenly watched .Ache din ah gaye haim. Good days are here but for politicians making mockery of democratic process Why any confirmation is needed as to the reason of changing sides. There is no ideology or principles nor ethics by jumping Chickens Besides posts and position of power money changes hands and it is just an open secret Money is the new glue of attraction The mockery of defection law is there for all to see. After defection most of them are reelected by the very same voters .Voters too want to be on the greener side of the grass A very simple law will disqualify all defectors and a ban for two terms Neither the Speaker nor the courts will be left with anylegal interpretations to do The office of governor is acting in a clear partisan way .The appointee is a ruling party sympathiser, holding office at the discretion of the President , who too is the ruling party nominee .The post of the governor is to rehabilitate discarded politicians inti the grave yard of Governors. This position needs a rethink and subsequently abolition. Nowhere in democratic country there is wanton abuse of political process . At the most there are coalition Govt.. This is an unique subversion of democracy invented in India with no takers anywhere. The voters can only enjoy ring side view of this circus but have no say directly. Once elected the politicians are masters of their destiny justifying development as the the convincing alibi .The debate on right to recall falls on deaf ears of law makers for obvious reasons Democracy in India is for politicians, of politicians and by politicians Finally it is the people who pay the costs of these experiments of tumbling down elected Governments. There is nothing the voters can do except feel frustrated , angry but there is no redemption from the malaise as same scenario will unfold once again Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
