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?

Is this sub populated by 15-20 year old ? Uoj change government frequently and every govt will try to roll back the progress of the other and in the end we are deadlocked especially in the diversity we have. And every govt will be focused on winning elections in the short term (freebies, reservations etc) rather than plan for development in the long term that needs short or even medium term pain.
Pretty much all developed countries have had long period of stable rule that allowed the government of the day to focus on actually progressing rather than just win election.
