With just over 50 days to go before the Elections in India, there seems to be no certainty on which Party will be able to form the Coalition that will lead the largest Deomocracy in the world.
For a Coalition Government it certainly will be. Without any doubt whatsoever....
Since there is simply no way that an Individual party will be able to muster the required number of seats to be able to form an Independent government.As the face of politics in India has been changing, decade after decade, or then more recently, year after year.
The issues at stake are also very complex- For one, Communalism continues to rear it's ugly head.
Then we have extremely belligerent neighbours - a country which really almost threatens to implode...possibly not too far away in the future.
As does the fact that various compromises have to be made when more than two or somtimes more than even five/six parties decide to come together. In that sense, it really has been creditable as to how the UPA Government managed to complete a whole term.
Confidently led by the very bright and extremely upright Prime Minister. Dr Manmohan Singh.
As to the future, we will just have to wait, watch and see...
What the next 50 plus days bring. For new Alliances will certainly be forged, while some of the other existing ones will fall apart.
And as vigilant citizens we must do all that we possibly can. To bring to power, a government that will make the vital difference. Between giving us more of the same thing..
Or changing the face of the way things in India are looking at this point in time.....
The Lead India'09 campaign by TOI seems to be an initiative in the right direction by the Times.A big part of the electorate comprises of youngsters who will be voting for the first time . They seem to be very cued into where our country is faltering and what needs to be done. We can hope for an informed vote from them which may make a change to the final picture.
