Without an iota of doubt,we can say that democracy is best form of governance . People of all hues and ideas participate in ensuring rule of law and justice for all through their involvement. The more the participation, the healthier the system. On this ideal we adopted democracy with multi-party system. Multi-party system brings in more ideas and they are expected to bring their localised problems to the fore and ensure their people solutions to their owes. But,ironically such ideals remain much in theory and less in practice.
If we examine the role of regional parties in india , we can clearly see that almost all the parties are Person-centric or family-centric rather than idea or principle-centric which is the essence of democracy. The party Chiefs have established themselves as chieftains of the past enjoying power,clout and status for their coterie assembled or arranged mostly through shameful act of corruption. Their modus operandi is simple . They invoke local pride and identity.
People in a democratic setup participate through parties / representatives. They have to be people with experience , expertise and a leader in true sense. The parties have to be governed through participation of people having common idea ,vision and principle . But unfortunately we have assembly of persons with common interest . They are not responsible for this. They are able to hold us hostage by their tricks. They can control our emotions, play with our dreams and breed hatred in us.
It is high time that all the parties of India be governed with some common laws. The one simple rule for all the parties should be that they can't be allowed to exist as private enterprise. No family or person should be allowed to hold control of a party for more than 2 terms. We also need to understand the behaviour of parties in detail and come out with reforms. The much needed REFORMS. Till then we ,the smart people of India, should not elect any such parties who are person centric or family centric rejecting whatever provocation ,offers and bundle of lies they offer.
