Pavan K. Varma | Whither democracy sans a functional Opposition?

Deccan Chronicle  

The results of the recent five Assembly elections signal both a victory for democracy and a crisis for India’s democratic system. The reasons for this precipitate plunge are known: Inept leadership, defunct organisation, no convincing counter-narrative, rootless coterie, lack of a credible face, and — the visible elephant in the room — the stranglehold of the Gandhi family, which insists in projecting an incompetent electoral product in Rahul Gandhi. The ideology that made Congress the dominant party for decades — democracy, pluralism and inclusion — is still relevant to the country. Now, as the recent elections show, if the Congress, which is in direct fight with the BJP in some 200 seats in north India, cannot deliver, the alliance itself has no meaning, and each party will just go back to defending its own state fiefdom. In fact, most other Opposition parties have begun to consider the Congress as a liability, that brings little to the table but claims, as a matter of right, a disproportionate share of seats.
