Opposition party in India..

In US if a party falls from power, they dont always try to see the mistakes of the ruling party. They oppose the real matters which requires opposition, and they support the ruling party when it helps in the interests of thier country. Thats the reason they are progressing. In India the opposit party just opposes everything the ruling party does.They should change thier attitudes. They forget thier commitment to the country.First they should stop this dirty menace religion from their agenda.It is stinking too much.

Yeah the opposition party are third class people in the Indian democracy.I don't do things which they are menat for.They don't critices the ruling party and keep a pressure on the ruling party for their foul policies..they just want to play with people.They are dreaming when they will be sitting in the ruling party.They don't understand that in a democratic country a opposition party has an equall status as a ruling party. And also you said it right that they only know how to play with people's sentiments on taking their religions..

thats really sad.i am an indian,and i agree with your point.whenever they think they need more attention in the public they just do something like this for attention.they are just scared of losing their ground thats all.they want kling to the news ,attacking christmas carols is an unfortunate incident.

im against attack against any religion ,it causes fights and conflicts between religions and civilization

ya its true... it is becoz of the hunger for power.. they just want to make the ruling govt fall nd come to power as much as fast possible.. they r all destroying the efficiency of the democracy

you are so coreect.neither the opposition nor the ruling party is doing what it is supposed to do.Everyone knows how much time of lok sabha was recently wasted over petty matters.1 hour of loksabha costs a bomb.recently after the poor spate of performences by the cricket team,the opposition went after the head of gregg chappel instead of making sure that the ordinary man got roti kapda or makaan.all they are bothered is religion politics just too garner votes of the public on religious grounds..the godhra incident is a glaring example.

If you mean the present opposition party I agree with you. If you do not mean the past opposition parties then I will add that and say it is not a single party or the present opposition it is our opposition parties which seems to have always worked as an irresponsbile opposition. There are lot of changes which many would like to see in our Political class. Whenever the Judiciary works towards cleansing the political system there will be lot of pressure from them because they know they are mostly not doing justice to the taxpayer's money when they are shutting down the Lok Sabha for no or little reasons.

The main problem in India is people join politics only for self gain and they have no intention to look after the welfare of people irrespective of ruling or opposition parties

Hi dear. I just went through the responses. It is interesting reading. I thought I shall also share my mind. So here goes. In India, when someone makes a comment about a particular party or a worker, the opposition feels that he or she is trying to take a dig at the other. This induces the opponent to go on the defensive without analysing the veracity of the input/comment. However, even without exaggerating, I personally feel the BJP, which is an offshoot of the erstwhile Jan Sangh which was converted to Janata Party of old and which has direct link to some of the communal organizations like RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal etc is the one only party that has managed to clinch power by clandestine methods, after playing on the sentiments of hindus with the covert support from the Sadhus and Sanyasins. Politics exist everywhere and every party has an inclination to toss freebies to a particular section or community of people when in power or to appease them for the sake of votes. Congress too tries its hand to amuse one or the other community with a view to garner votes, but with a difference. Their acts cannot be seen as detrimental to other communities as a whole. Every party in power deems it their bounden duty to cater to the welfare of a particular deprived section of people but this cannot wholly be construed as intended to garner votes. Their acts need to be viewed from the point of view of country's growth. It is unfortunate that the country has to progress together, taking the entire country with it. In doing so, if a particular party judges it as a deliberate act to belittle the other, it cannot be helped because the endeavour of the Congress Party as a national party right from the time of partition has been to maintain equidistance from controversies that can split the country. But, here the gaping hole appears in the 'party with a difference' (BJP) who have done their homework before coming to power by means of destruction of the mosque at Ayodhya and on a promise of building the temple at Ayodhya on the same spot. All vile means for a national party that it is aspiring to be. Even today, the same party is clamoring for votes on the promise of building the temple if voted to power with a majority. Well, it is not possible to say to what extent they will be successful, for the very people who played dangerously with the national defence policy by its Pokhran I and II, can do any damn thing to stay on or capture power at the centre. BJP as such is only a throw away heap with people coming together for power. Even my deceased father-in-law who happened to be a staunch supporter of BJP had written books extolling the party (BJP) and after its coming to power managed to arrange for himself a lifetime pension for self and his family. And this party talks big about 'absence of corruption'. I never thought it prudent to blow the balloon out of proportion and so kept the matter to myself. Even the disintegration of BJP is not a distant prediction with already some stalwarts like Uma and Madan Lal slowly drifting from its ideals. Even when the party was in power Uma tried to create a nische for herself in the shape of a crusader for the sake of temple at Ayodhya. A lady of no substance and without any mass appeal, whose only cv is that of being a regional politician endeared to a regional party in MP. The lady managed to belittle others, even to the extent of slinging mud at Sonia Gandhi in order to portray Sonia in bad light for her own mirth. Whaterver that be, the UPA supported by left and other like minded parties is sailing smooth at the centre. There has been no any tussle for power by any of its allies save for the TRS which did not constitute much to the alliance at the centre, But BJP has totally proved a non entitity as an opposition, much of a departure from what they used to be prior to coming to power at the centre. As an afterthought, it may also be mentioned that the real stuff of BJP came to light when they went for a President of their choice after discarding the very person they elevated to the post of Vice President. You know the name I mean. Yes, they did a BJP on the late Vice President Kishan Kant, yea, that too during his last days. Shame. BJP failed miserably during the last Lok Sabha elections and their calculation led to a horrendous defeat. May be they had wild dreams of making in on their own, but fortune never smiled on them and they had to eat humble pie having got maimed both at the centre as also at the regional level. History can reveal more on the events of last one decade or so. But we can be content to note that BJP is not a party to be trusted, what to speak of thrusting such a self-motivated party to the centre.

mainly opposition party are BJP Shiv Sena etc

That is tru, I think it is we who need to be careful about it. When we vote them, it is our duty to monitor what they are doing.

Yes this is true that opposition party in india are very religious and based on these principle they want to run their party from a regional level to national level. They even wanted to set up the government to rule the country without any base or objective. They just know told people that we are going to give you whatever is needed by you. But after ruling either they publicise the party principle in the plans also. They are just cheating people, i.e. democracy. In a democratic nation where there is power by the people, for the people, to the people, the nation is always there to ask the question abt the progress and the implementation for the welfare of people.

yes i do agree with u opposition here is just too bad they dont think of developing nation parties should first look at the interest of people then to theres

man politics in India is messed up. There are people who have not completed education. Instead normal civilians can do better then them. If few educated people who are normal civilians are taken in then they will change the face of whole country. They will take the country forward. Stupid old politicians are scared. We need young people.

thats the irony of the whole system..we created rules and put in place the checks to ensure that rules would work..and that was what it was expected of the opposition which was supposed to ensure that the government keeps working for public welfare..but unfortunately that happens rarely and for most of the time political parties whether in power or in opposition just play games to gain some mileage..wonder if things would change..

yes i think you are right but my friend please find what are the reasons.

I don't know if there is opposite party in Chian, it's my first time to hearing this community. Thanks for your information. I think it's our social enviorment's problem. of course, I think we should monitor them also.

The ruling party in India always talks about secularism, while allowing some 'minors' to have 'personal law board' and also protects the so called 'rights' of all the other communities. This is what they mean my secular country. To take care of everyone except the original and majority. This helps them keep the vote bank intact. Whereas the opposition party talks points out the so called 'secular' strategies and tries to bring all on the same platform. Its better that they talk about what they want. Not like the ruling party, which has a vast difference in what they say and what they do (or never do) This is my personal opinion.

oh i see.. sad that those are the circumstances of politics there in india... too bad..

The ruling party in India is also among the worst in the world. They can't seem to find a leader beyond Gandhi family. What a shame, a great party during freedom struggle has come to this.
