My VIEW:
My VIEW:
Indian political leadership, it looks, is
still ignoring the churning the electoral politics has undergone during the
current decade. Intellectuals, media and other stakeholders in India’s growth
story should take the initiative in waking up the political leadership to the
current realities. Elections during the current decade has proved that “WE THE
PEOPLE” or the voters are not very keen to support any particular alliance
(everywhere ‘alliances’ are fighting elections). They have started
experimenting different permutations and combinations, one at the Centre, an
assortment of alliances in states and even within a state, when it comes to
local bodies’ elections, different combinations in different regions. Recognising
this, political parties should think in terms of mutual cooperation on
developmental and other issues of public interest and if necessary, common
minimum programmes at national and regional levels.
