New Delhi, 6th June. Coalition politics have begun to emerge amid the beginning of preparations for Narendra Modi’s government-forming campaign. In addition to expressing their support for the government, Chandrababu Naidu, Nitish Kumar, Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi, and Eknath Shinde each presented a list of requested actions. The majority of the leaders reportedly want a Cabinet Minister position in addition to other things. It is highly likely that Chandrababu Naidu is also running for Speaker of the Lok Sabha. It is impossible to verify such claims, yet they appear straightforward. But eventually, like all coalitions, there will be concessions. The function of the Speaker is significant in this system, which is why the BJP would like to retain control of the position.
The NDA and ‘India’ alliance have met in Delhi. There are rumors that the Congress party is proposing a candidate for Prime Minister. Which fish will take the bait, though, with the assurance of outside support? What kind of numerical power does the Congress itself possess, one would wonder, to be able to elect someone to the Prime Ministership through external support? And which charitable party, the Congress, will indiscriminately appoint someone to be Prime Minister? Of course, the goal is to preserve the nation, but keep in mind that the Congress Party has already used similar tactics to lure in politicians such as Chandrashekhar, Inder Kumar Gujral, HD Deve Gowda, and Chaudhary Charan Singh.
On June 8, the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will assume office. However, those are the questions that follow. While serving as the governor of Gujarat for over 12 years and the central government for 10 years, Narendra Modi’s administrations were all founded on solid majorities, entirely within their power. Both the 2014 and 19 formations of governments were overwhelmingly supported. The NDA was not yet dissolved. However, although it was a coalition in name, numerous parties will now support the upcoming government. Will Modi find it easy to lead such a government?
It is thought that his working style is to maintain team discipline, although coalition rule will now be required. It was Atal Bihari Vajpayee who coined this phrase. He was the one who introduced the idea of an alliance-wide coordinating committee. The idea of the Common Minimum Program was developed in 2004 when UPA-1 was established. However, past history indicates that a coalition government entails the least amount of political danger. It is imperative that we acknowledge the role that the party plays in maintaining the integrity of the coalitions. It’s not necessary for the prime minister to perform every task.
For the longest time, Congress has dominated national politics. Although the “family” still holds a major role, the alliance itself is somewhat large. The alliance only piques its curiosity when it begins to drop to the bottom, even if the party is standing with the “India” alliance flag today. It has already formed coalition governments three times. It helped two outside coalition administrations come to power. Each time the Congress was the target of accusations from the allies. Whenever the party received foreign assistance, they abruptly withdrew it and toppled the regimes. The Left parties’ exit in 2008 caused the administration, which was first created in 2004, to only barely escape collapse. Mamata Banerjee, Sharad Pawar, and Karunanidhi had to exert persistent pressure on it during the UPA-2 regime.
The people’s aspirations were heightened and the vision of a “Sunehra Bharat” was demonstrated by BJP leader Narendra Modi in 2014. For this, Modi made a number of audacious and daring decisions that he put into action. ‘Sabka Saath’ was his catchphrase, which bolstered the religious vote mobilization. The Ram temple was built after the court’s ruling to approve its construction was obtained. After demonetization, the GST was put into place. A legislation on triple talaq was passed, Article 370 was revoked, women’s reservation was established, and the Indian Judicial Code is about to be put into effect.
Numerous duties related to economy, society, and culture are currently included in his list. Programs like “One Country, One Election” and the Uniform Civil Code are also included in this. Reforms must be implemented in a number of areas, including agriculture, land, labor, fertilizer subsidies, and electricity. The Finance Minister has already stated that some state-owned banks and insurance providers will also be sold off. The delimitation of parliamentary seats is a major effort. The government delayed it for twenty-five years in 2002.
The new government has two major jobs ahead of it that need to be completed. Delimitation comes after the first census. This is related to the 33% seat reservation for women. Work on the census was put on hold until June 30 and will now resume. National caste censuses are something that Nitish Kumar advocates for. Politics may benefit long-term from this as well. Whether deliberate or not, communication will now need to take precedence inside the NDA administration. Must pay attention to what others have to say. One voice has been the subject of extensive attention during the past ten years. This time, the procedure will be a little slower and different. Furthermore, it is unclear what would happen to the “India” alliance. Following the Maharashtra election results, Uddhav Thackeray must be taken aback by the fact that, after forming an alliance with the BJP, he received eighteen seats in the Lok Sabha. There are currently just nine remaining. Numerous people will have such questions. Politics is also the search for opportunity. Many people in this room are willing to take a U-turn if Nitish Kumar can do so. It is not accurate to infer that everyone joined the ‘India’ coalition free of obligation. Everybody has pursuits. This is called “politics.” It is unpredictable. We need to wait, soon, something will materialize in front of us.
