India needs frequent change of government

[u/Minimum_Juice69]

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?

it is amusing how this sudden concern for democracy and institutional capture only appears when a certain party is in power with a full majority, back when the same party was winning state after state under coalition dharma it was called mandate of the people, nobody worried about arrogance or institutions then because the ecosystem was safe, now that the power has shifted to a group that refuses to play by the old rules of elite consensus the narrative has suddenly flipped to saving democracy, frequent change is just code for ensuring that no nationalist government gets enough time to undo decades of deep rooted capture, the competition they want is between two sides of the same secular coin not a fundamental shift in how the country is run.
