Answer 2

Answer:

The cartoon is of "Perils of Running a Coalition Government"

Explanation:

i. The man sitting on the Throne is Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, holding a lotus in his hand. He is sitting on the Throne made up of bombs. He is also sweating. There is also a fire of Coalition government burning near him.

ii. The picture depicts the relation between the centre and the states in a coalition government. The concept of Coalition government has been shown in this cartoon.

iii. Atal Bihari Vajpayee is sitting on the Throne because he became the Prime Minister of India in 1998. We can see the former prime minister holding a lotus in his hand as he belonged to the "Bhartiya Janta party", whose symbol is a lotus. This also marks the victory of lotus in the elections then.

iv. The throne can be seen, is made up of bombs in which we can see the faces of leaders of different parties in that coalition government. This depicts that the throne of bombs can explode any moment due to the conflicts and differences among different parties of the coalition government.

v. We can see in the cartoon that our former prime minister is sweating. This is because of the fear that the parties can withdraw support from the government. This is risky as withdrawl of support suddenly would lead to the fall of such coalition government.
