Challenges to fulfill the constitutional obligations in india
Answers
The most important challenge faced by indian constitution is the eventuality in which no party gets majority and there is no option for the parties to go for coalition. Ironically the parties who have fought against each other come together and form an opportune govt and arrive conviniently at a common minimum program to run the govt. Such govt has no agenda but to keep the deserving party away fron the rule on the basis of numbers.
The experiments of such coalitions took the rein under the banner UPA where there was unity for coruuption and non progressive agenda.
This has happened with chandrashekhar, Charan singh and Indra kumar Gujral and Devegowda. That was the worst era of indian polity when numbers in loksabha made the mockery of formations and deformations to the extent of loksabha elections repeated twice in its term of five years.
In those days I really felt that our constitution experts didnot imagine the eventiality of no party getting required numbers in loksabha to form the govt.
The nation cannot affort the repetion of general elections and hence the national govt would have been the best option under the watchmanship of hon’ble president. There could nave been a national agenda of development for five years and the govt shall have representatives of all parties with prime minister being from the single largest party.
That is the biggest challenge that the indian constitution faced during the last seventy years and may face in future also.
With the changing and passing times constitution needs lot of ammendments which is now a distant dream as no party is likely to get three fourth majority and consensus amongst the parties is next to impossible as politics has a bigger role to play than national intetest.
Hope this helped!!!
