Politics Politics Politics !!!

Guys... I'm back with yet another "Politics" post. But this one really is thought-provoking. Must have a look..... and do let me know what you feel....

Polling over.... But that doesn't mean that "THE GREAT INDIAN POLITICAL TAMASHA" is over.... The main tamasha is going to begin on May 16th....

Yes.... Its the day when the election results will be declared and the 'horse-trading' will begin....

Actually I thought of writing this post when I was sitting at some place listening to a conversation of two people. Here are some excerpts :

Mr X : Kya lagta hai is baar sarkaar ka?

Mr Y : Pata nahi. Is baar bhi kisi ko bahumat nahi milega.

X : Haan. Woh to hai. Saala yeh jod-tod ki sarkaar ne desh ko barbaad kar ke rakh diya hai.

Y : Aur nahi to kya. Naa to koi development hota hai. Aur upar se yeh politician log ek doosre ki taang kheechne mein hi lage rehte hai. Solid kamaai kar rahe hai yeh log.

X : Desh jaaye bhaad me... In logo ko thode hi kuch padi hai desh ki. Yeh sab apna ghar bharne mein lage hai. Jitni zyada party utna zyada corruption. America ke jaise 2-party hona chahiye.

Y : Ab to yeh ek-do MP waali party bhi blackmail karti hai. "Ye kaam karo nahi to support khich lenge."

X : Exit poll dekha?

Y : Haan. Kisi bhi gathbandhan (alliance) ko bahumat nahi milta dikh raha hai.

X : Zabardast jod-tod hogi. Chhoti chhoti party ko bhi maska lagayenge. Is se to achha hai Congress aur BJP mil ke sarkaar bana de. Jiski zyada seats, uska PM. Sab 'kachra' saaf ho jaayega.

Y : Idea to achha hai. Lekin mujhe nahi lagta ye kabhi possible ho paayega. Congress aur BJP kabhi ek nahi ho sakti.

X : Agar aisa ho to desh ka bhala ho jaayega.

This idea of Mr X startled me. I thought forget two-party system. We can have a competitive government even in multi-party system. But for that, the two major rivals have to become friends. And thats very very difficult. 'Coz I believe that "Nothing is Impossible..." (line-maaro courtesy : Mr Napoleon Bonaparte). And of course everybody knows that "In politics, nobody is untouchable..." (Raajneeti mein koi achhoot nahi hota....)

This will discourage the small and micro parties that have popped up in every corner of the country like the mosquitos multiply in the monsoons. There will be more development. Party with more seats will get more ministerial berths. There will be way less mud-slinging as the main rivals will now be friends.

Even if this happens for two whole terms (10 years), all the small parties will loose their base. And thus ending coalition politics.

The conversation of Mr X and Mr Y compelled me to think about it. Nice idea Mr X.... You need a pat on your back. But the million dollar question is "Can this EVER happen?"
