New India needs new leadership #IndiaNEWS #News
By Dr Ranjith Reddy
Indian polity is at a crossroads and looking for a transformational change. With the Congress increasingly becoming ‘defunct’ and the BJP increasingly showing its Machiavellian attitude and playing divisive politics, a huge vacuum has been created at the national level and the people are looking for an able leader, an effective administrator and a Messiah to make the country a Welfare State and steer it to new horizons.
India is a democracy. A dictatorial regime is not in its ethos and Indians never accepted such a regime. We hung around till Amrit Mahotsav and we are into Amrit Kaal looking for Achhe Din, but every single party at the Centre has done nothing except give a lollipop which proved that we are unrealistically optimistic about those who sell their ‘words’ than ‘deeds. ’
Cooperative Federalism

We cannot separate federalism from the Constitution; it is an inherent part of it. The most important part of India’s federal character is the division of powers between the union and the States, independent judiciary, separate governments at the Centre and States, etc. ‘Cooperative federalism’ was the leitmotif of Prime Minister Narendra Modi when he was the Chief Minister and vociferously supported cooperative federalism. Modi said in January 2012:
‘It is high time the Centre realises that giving to the States what rightfully belongs to them will not weaken the Centre. The States must coordinate with the union government and not remain subservient to it. Cooperative and not coercive federalism must be the norm in our country. ’
But, after becoming the Prime Minister, instead of pushing for cooperative federalism, he made ‘coercive’ the new norm of federalism. Concentration of power, discrimination between States in providing financial and other support, misuse of agencies to create a fear psychosis in the minds of leaders of political rivals are not healthy for the federal structure of this country. If leaders at the Centre continue to do this, the country will fall like a pack of cards. India now needs a new progressive and visionary leadership who will take all federal constituents (States) along.
Many Failures

It is a monumental blunder of successive political parties that ruled the country but failed in reaping the benefits, failed to optimally utilise resources that India abundantly has and take fruits to Antyodaya which is the core objective of a Welfare State under Article 38 of the Constitution. It is an irony that in spite of India being bestowed with abundant water we are not able to give it for irrigation, we are not able to produce enough food for our people, not able to generate power for distribution.
