We have Art of Living to create a life of purpose, joy and confidence. Then we have another art, Art of Coalition to create a political career to fulfill ambitions for power. In India we have seen many coalition governments and very few majority governments. I used to think is it better two have a two party system or a system having many parties. People who supports multi party ideology says that the local party have more knowledge and more ability to handle local issue then any other party. Quite meaningful. But every coin has two sides.
The Coalition government takes away the power to be going in one hand but on the other hand it also gives negotiation power to few individual who can take advantage of the situation. A party that gets mandate close to the majority has no choice other than to make a coalition government with these few individual. What comes next is a years of struggle, blackmail and negotiation and it becomes a barrier to the development process. If the government is unable to fulfill its agenda it blames the coalition which has put restriction on it.
In a country with billions of people its very hard to think only two party representing all of them. But the art of coalition should be changed in order to help the party who makes the government. It should not become a tool of blackmailing. You listen to us or we take our support back!
Moreover the history of coalition is surprising and shocking. We have seen that people with totally different ideologies comes together to form a coalition government. The party who fights against each other will shake hands after election. The enemies will come together to form a government. This is what we are seeing in Bihar. Before election i don't even know which party i am voting for. Because i vote for party A and don't want party B to make government but after election Party A and B forms a government together.
But as a voter we should not lose heart. We need to judge the decisions of the people we vote for. We need to think logically and should take account of everything. We will definitely get another chance. We need to make them accountable. Coalition is not bad, but if the motive is to get only power and money then we need to put a check on that. We are known for unity in diversity. We need to showcase our unity in voting as well. And to do that we need to put Nation first before voting for anybody.
