Re: Corona Virus: is it the beginning of the end?
The Indian system is a combination of multiple constitutions around the world. The central government is elected in every 5 years once. The majority wins, in case where there's no majority, they may coalesce. The state elections are also held once in 5 years. But most of the important policies are with the center. So we have 2 main parties, Indian national Congress; which is currently strugling due to lack of proper leadership, and the Bhartiya Janata Party also translated as "the Indian People's Party"; which is currently ruling and the prime ministor is also from the ruling party.
the Indian National Congress party could be regarded as the leftwing party, but, this is not in the western sence. Because more of this is due to religion. And sadly, Religion plays a very big and dirty role in Indian politics. Moreover, Casts are politicized too. Because BJP identifies with a national Hindu group called Rashtriya Swayam Seva Sangh, and because BJPs origins are in that group, it is regarded as rightwing. In case of politics, Both of these parties do enact liberal policies so that is debatable. Congress however, due to it's hand in few Religious happenings, it becomes dificult to determine who's left and who's right. Actually, when it's about voatbank, everyone becomes left and everyone becomes right and everyone becomes center too. That's the way Indian politics works. So if 1 party does something wrong in so and so term and if people get realy angree, you would have pritty good idea about who's being elected next.
Currently, BJP is doing so many things wrong, and INC is not showing strong leadership too. So if someone wanted to come up with a political party and break the duopoly, now would be the right time. The Aam Admi Party, which is currently ruling in the state of Delhi, have shown promising leadership and policies. However, they realy lack the manpower and capital to go all out and participate through out the nation in the next elections.
