Shikha Mukerjee | Centralising India amidst imperatives of coalitions
Deccan ChronicleReversing the inexorable advance towards centralisation of executive power, programmes and election schedules reflected in the Narendra Modi 0.3 government’s rush to get legislative approval for the “One Nation-One Election” blueprint appears impossible. The need to come back again and again to why the losses in Haryana and Maharashtra were damaging to the INDIA bloc’s effectiveness in Parliament and in national politics is necessary, never more so than now when the Modi government, armed with a mandate from the election results in these two states, prepares to change the basic structure of India’s politics. There is no way that the INDIA bloc in Parliament can stop the BJP and the Modi government, armed with its new and in this context irrelevant mandate from the Maharashtra and Haryana state elections, from passing the bill on One Nation-One Election. Whereas the regional parties need bifocals or progressives to see clearly where India’s politics is headed, the intractably myopic view of most regional parties, including Mamata Banerjee and her Trinamul Congress, is also responsible for the triumphant progress of the subversion of the basic structure of the Indian State as established by the Constitution in which the executive, the legislature and the judiciary maintain a balance and keep each other in check, on the one hand, and the constituent states of the Union have the freedom to conduct their politics on their own terms and as per their schedules, so long as whatever they do is permissible under the Constitution.
