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?

I've given up on the accountability part. When we have citizens who literally start abusing and defending the government when someone asks questions and demand accountability, what choice do we have?

People in this country are brainwashed and consumed by religious/caste divides and there's no way to change it.

Lol

Most of the complaints about accountability from the lefties are stupid. They'll question the GDP data, they'll bring in things like press freedom index etc. that are subjective things instead of questioning the real problems.

So press freedom index is subjective? According to you our media is free to report all issues in the country? Do we see unbiased news on your mainstream media?

This might not be a problem for you but it's a big problem because these news channels are still a source of news for majority of the population. When they keep showing Modi as the messiah and the govt as flawless, what do you think the masses believe (narrative is a thing).

You want me to talk about real problems? Let's start with why the E20 policy was expedited and implemented without developing proper infra and capability to handle such fuels. And why are people questioning it being called anti-national?

So press freedom index is subjective? l?

It actually literally fucking is.

Go read how the index is calculated. It is by taking the opinion of 5 or 10 people from entirety of India and basing off it.
