…. Are thoroughly
fed up of our elected MLAs / MPs, deserting their political parties and joining
/ leaving / re-joining, any other political party , as often as they wish , -
and finding clever legal methods to defeat the purpose of “ Anti Defection Law “

Can
we put a permanent end to this regular “ Tamasha “ ? Even by submitting to ALL political parties,
a “ Citizen”s Charter of Demand “ , for
changing our Constitution which mandates a “ Constitutional Coalition
Government “ ?

Extract
:
Under our current system, the Governor
invites,
* parties with “ Pre-poll Alliance “ , failing which,
* parties which have
formed a “ Post – poll Alliance “
Why is the post-poll alliance , “
unfortunate “ ?
Because it leads to horse-trading / purchasing members with money or promises of minister-ship / flouting Anti Defection
Law etc
MY SUGGESTION :
In the next few weeks , the Supreme
Court is expected to hear the petition ( from Congress + JDS + Ram Jethmalani
), to decide whether Karnataka Governor was right or wrong in his action
For the reasons mentioned above , I
strongly feel such a protocol should NOT at all include POST –POLL alliance , as an option
It should be as per following
priority :
* “ Pre Poll alliance “ if the combined seats won by the alliance exceed simple majority, with provision for a Vote of Confidence, within a week
* If there is no “ Pre
Poll alliance having simple majority “ , then the party with the
In such an
event , there will be no need for a Vote
of Confidence by that party to
Even though I consider this
suggestion as “ far less than the IDEAL “
, its merits are as follows ,
* No scope of “ Opportunism “ by forming a “ Post Poll Alliance “ by warring parties
* No scope for horse-trading
* Likely acceptance by all parties concerned
* No scope for the Governor to play favourites, by strictly defining his role
* Quick formation of a STABLE government in a transparent manner

I asked BARD :
Is there some merit in Parekh’s suggestion ?
This is what
BARD replied :
Yes, I do see some merit in Parekh's
suggestion.
A constitutional coalition government
could be a way to resolve the dispute over
ministerships in Maharashtra.
It would require the three parties to compromise and work together,
but it could also lead to a more stable and effective government.
Here are some of the merits of Parekh's suggestion:
·
It would ensure that all three parties
have a stake in the government, which could lead to more cooperation and less conflict.
·
It would give
the people of Maharashtra a say in who governs them, as they would be able to vote for the party they believe
would best represent their interests.
·
It would create a more balanced government, as
no one party would have too much power.
Of
course, there are also some challenges that would need to be overcome if a
constitutional coalition government were to be formed in Maharashtra. These
include:
·
The parties would need to be willing to
compromise and work together.
·
They would need to agree on a common agenda for
the government.
·
They would need to build trust and goodwill between them.
However,
if the parties are able to overcome these challenges, then a constitutional
coalition government could be a viable way to resolve the
dispute over ministerships in Maharashtra.
It would allow the government to
function effectively and serve the needs of the people of the state.
Overall,
I believe that Parekh's suggestion has
some merit and could be a way to resolve the current dispute over
ministerships in Maharashtra.
However, it is important to note that
there are also some challenges that would need to be overcome if a
constitutional coalition government were to be formed.

Agree with your recommendations - completely
If
the Supreme Court lays down the "law", as per your recommendations,
then it will be implicitly ruling against the Cong-JDS alliance for all future
scenarios - if it does do that, it will take a lot of steam out of the INC-JDS
victory -
