essay on the topic of opposition party in elections
Answers
Answer:
India is a parliamentary democracy and for its success it is very essential that the opposition political parties should be strong and powerful. It should be ready to provide viable alternative to the ruling party and should have good alternatives to provide both in policies and personnel.
It should be well organised and resourceful enough to immediately bring to the notice of the electorates the weaknesses and shortcomings of the ruling party. In fact, for the ruling party it should be a good check. The government should always remember that the every failure of the ruling party will immediately come to the notice of the people who may not return the party in power.
But unfortunately in India since independence opposition parties have remained in wilderness. These have failed to win the confidence of the people. Even if the voters in some cases gave electoral mandate in their favour, after some time they realised their mistake because these parties for various reasons could not pull on together.
Since the last about 25 years efforts are being made by the opposition parties to come together and provide alternative leadership and viable programmes but every such attempt has miserably failed.
Janata experiment between 1977-79 was the first successful experiment but the fate to which it met is quite well known. In 1989 opposition political parties came closer to some extent and could defeat the Congress (I) at the centre, as a result of elections held in that year.
But again these badly dismayed the people and these parties could remain in power only for about a year. In the states S.V.D. governments could not pull on together and these disappointed the electorates.
