can government shutdown happen in India like it happened in USA?
why or why not?
Answers
Answer:
US president Donald Trump seems to be stuck between a rock and a hard place (that could also allegorise as his cornerstones for his proposed border wall) as an over three week impasse that has led to parts of his government shutting down has left 800,000 federal workers in an employment limbo and without pay.
The US government shutdown, which as of Saturday entered its 22nd day, has become the longest government shutdown in American history. The longest one before this was back in 1995-96 when Bill Clinton was president.
So what exactly led to 2018's second government shutdown? Donald Trump's concrete-hard determination to build his border wall. Democrats in the US House of Representatives have rejected Donald Trump's demand for government funding of $5.7 billion to build the wall.
Answer:
Currently In United Sates there is a complete disagreement between the Legislature (Congress) and the U.S Government led by President Trump.
Basically Trump is proposing to the US congress to give money so that he can build a wall along the Mexican border to keep out illegal migrants. This demand for money is part of U.S government Budget proposal for the Financial Year 2019. . Congress is refusing to accept this demand hence no passage of the US government budget till date leading to US government department running out of Money. Now one by one Government department are running out of money creating a crisis in U.S Can This happen in India ? It is highly unlikely. There are many reason why Government Shutdown in India is highly unlikely.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Parliament in India and Congress in U.S controls the purse of the Government . Every Year the Government present a detailed proposal to the Parliament /Congress for spending money on Government activities like paying salaries, developmental projects, Defence etc and the Parliament/ Congress passes the Proposal authorising the government to withdraw the required amount. This is how how normally Government Budget is passed and the enable the government to meet its future expenditures.
2) India is a Parliamentary form of Democracy where the Executive(Government) and the legislature(Parliament) are fused . It means that Party which has majority in the Lok Sabha forms the Government . Currently NDA has majority in Lok Sabha and the Government of P.M Modi are invariably from NDA . It means that all the Budget proposal of the Modi Government will be passed in Lok Sabha . Rajya Sabha has no power on Budget Proposal. Of course as you are aware , Indian Parliament consist of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha .
3) The Party discipline in India is very strong. Ordinary member of BJP can hardly go against the BJP leadership of MODI. So what ever the top leadership of the party decides the party M.P in the Parliament will follow suit.
4) Deadlock can occur only if the Government loses its majority in the Lower House(Lok Sabha ) Then here will be fresh election.
5)Unlike India , party discipline in US is very loose . Individual party leaders openly defy their leaders and many times contrary to th wishes of the party boss.
Hope this helps you sir!!!
