Sir,
India represents the largest democracy of the world. No doubt it represents unity in diversity but it is also equally true that it is divided on the basis of caste, religion, languages, customs etc. Every state of our country and even within states there are further divisions based on various factors which is very deep rooted. To meet the aspirations of 125 crore people is a great task for every party be it national or regional. Regional parties are well versed about the problems and topographies of a particular area and that’s why they represent a limited area and do not proved successful in other domains. They rake regional issues and national issues are ignored. On the other hand national parties have to talk about regional, national and international issues by keeping in mind their impact on each other.
In my opinion, regional parties are more successful in assembly elections than the parliamentary elections and to some extent voters in this Parliamentary election of 2014 have understood the difference between the assembly and the parliamentary elections. They have almost opted for the national parties in this election. More the regional parties in the centre and more the instability is well known to everyone. These small group of parties have more attraction for their regions and other areas are by and large are ignored. Our government must go far two party system at least for the parliamentary elections. Two large groups are already there in existence ie. UPA and NDA. Let there be no confusion and all regional parties be given a chance to join any of them before the announcement of election. New symbols also be allotted to them to avoid any sort of problem. The election must be fought on the issues of development, employment, security, equality. The words like secular and communal should not be used in the election as these have long lasting impact on the minds of growing youth who discard this cheap politics based on religious lines.
After result largest group shall claim for the Government. By doing so instable Govt. will never come into existence and the fear of re-elections will also comes to an end. This will decrease another unnecessary burden on common people. Prime Minister and cabinet ministers can be elected by voting among the elected MP’s of the largest group. To compete with the developed countries and to increase the pace of development, our election commission and govt. must think over it.
Yours etc…
