True spirit of democracy
by pradeep ray on Jul 09, 2008 12:45 PM

Fractured mandate, split verdict, hung parliament, post poll alliance among the parties with different ideologies, horse trading, corruption, strong bargaining, appeasement policy, threatening to withdraw support, another poll before expire of full term, etc. are not in the true spirit of democracy.

Urgently we require the following to lead the nation in the path of progress and properity:

1. Implement Two party system, both in Centre and State.
2. Stop the defeated Lok Sabha MPs from electing as Rajya sabha MPs for five years.
3. Reject the court convicted criminals from contesting in elections.
4. Defection from parties means loosing MP/MLA status for five years.
5. Country's two top posts- Prime Minister and President be elected by the people instead of a leader of any political party like Sonia Gandhi.
6. Make it mandatory for every voters to cast vote (Voter I Card is not only meant for address proof but also offers a right to elect our best representative to govern the State or Centre).
