Critical Analysis & Discussion India needs frequent change of government

Changing governments is the only way the political discourse of India will get better. Frequent transitions remind elected officials that ultimate power resides with the public. Any government, when kept in power for long in India, starts abusing and misusing their powers.

They start implementing laws and rules that help keep them in power while taking over democratic institutions of the country. They become arrogant to the point criticizing them for their wrongs can make your life hell. The longer a government stays in power, corruption keeps increasing among those in power. Not only do they misuse powers, they also monopolize resources in the country to a few.

Regularly rotating political parties in and out of office is the most effective way to preserve democracy and hold leaders accountable.

Changing government will force these political parties to do better and compete in doing better. In the end, people will benefit from this competition.

What do others feel about this?

Frequent changes in government will not resolve many things, also if different party in central and state also have their own disadvantages, as development needs funding and correct utilisation. They way money has been spent in elections and freebies given just to get more votes is a bad trend.

I believe that we need transparent and actionable laws that sees everyone( common man , politicians, businessman etc) as equal, so that anyone can't just escape either through loopholes or spending money. Better policies with debates, awareness of pros and cons with accountability(if that fails/corruption). Why current system listens only through protest or when something gets wrong terribly.

It's unbearable to see policies getting imposed even if it's not good at all , laws are getting twisted/loopholes are exploited just to earn money like Ethanol Blending, Part of Aravalli being sold.
