Opposition Parties


    India is multi party country and whenever people verdict fragmented in polls then small parties or independents become important or king makers in forming a government, then small parties or independents do the deal behind the curtain and demand important portfolios ,over sighting parties preferences and manifesto announcement which become sometimes obstacles on their way to work during their office term or even sometimes during running office and it’s example is Indian National Congress in the fourteen Loksabha which had 145 seats and led United Progressive Alliance but to form government they were in need of further 127 members to form government ,then with the support of lot of parties rule for five years but it was not smooth and easy ride in the office as their one alliance (Communist Party) who was supporting from outside and had quite good numbers in the parliament ,always create problem for U.P.A. to work as per their vision and whenever they took any decision out of ten times more then seven occasion on an average oppose by Communist Parties and playing role of opposition party ,gradually their togetherness in U.P.A. was impossible in the fourth year of Office when Communist Parties pull back their support to Indian Congress Led U.P.A. on nuclear deal with U.S.A.,so it was unity of two different ideologies just to keep away B.J.P. and it’s allies away from power as both consider them communal but at the same time two different ideologies cannot remain together for long .
    Despite being multi party country it is the tragedy that opposition parties remain calm and keep on ignoring the problem face by common people of this country and not take any initiative, agitation to get relief for them and during parliament session they raise voices but to get mileage and often on any small issues opted to walk away from parliament, thus interrupt the proceeding of parliament and become reason of wastage of lot of tax payers money which goes in for parliament proceedings. They wait for election time and then announced populist declaration in their manifesto which they never consider that it is never possible but if implemented then it can be harmful to country or state below are example of this-
  • Last time when election held for Assembly election of Tamilnadu at that time Jayalalitha was ruling the state and she and opposition party of Karunanidhi in their respective manifesto’s announced lot of populist schemes for poor category of people and resulted now Karunanidhi is ruling the state but his schemes mentioned in their manifesto putting extra and additional burden on state government exchequer.
  • Same was happened when Election held In Andhra Pradesh and Chander Babu Naidu was ruling the state at the time of election he announced if he will comes into power again then his party will distribute rice at 2 Rs kg which mean directly burden on state government coffer but his party lost election so it remain part of their manifesto and it never get chance to become reality.
  • In Punjab Sate during election Shiromini Akali Dal in their manifesto announced they will give persons who are below poverty live rice at 4 Rs Kg and pulse at Rs 20,and will give electricity to farmer on subsidy rates and waive electricity rent to certain category of people and after winning election now they are giving announced facilities to concerned but this is putting lot of financial burden on government earnings and to balance on schemes and generate revenues they have revised lot of slabs ,with this no doubt they will earn money but at the same time other categories of people are feeling as if they are cheated because it has haywire their budget and inflation is rising and essential commodities prices are going through roof.
   Taking advantages of this opposition parties try to get mandate but they are also without any goal and plan in their mind how to cope of the situation created by predecessor thus pass on the blame to the former government and spent their tenure without any productive outcome and this cycle keep on repeating after every five years but in this cycle resident of states are major loser as they have to feel the heat without their any wrong doing.
