[QUOTE="Yamaraj, post: 764425, member: 883"] Needless burden on national economy and the process of development. Still wondering what happened to pre-NDA govt plans when NDA came in power, or their policies when UPA assumed it? The dirty war between different political factions have already cost us quite a bit. US is better at handling things because their stance on foreign policies and national interests are not driven by individualist agenda, but by nationalism. Too much regional politics results in communal indifference and local power brokers. While some may argue in favor of the decentralization of power, what we are witnessing in India is a deep political and cultural divide based on religion, caste, languages and regionalism. This keeps giving birth to unnecessary states based on the aforementioned factors. The result: mutual hatred and factions like MNS. Not to mention the severe bloat of our plagiarized constitutional heavyweight. US is doing great with only governors in states and UK is fine without them. But somehow, we need both and still fall short of efficient governance. And if you think political parties haven't hijacked the system, try running for an election and see if people vote you into parliament for all the goodness that is in you. See if you can negate their mindset which is focused more on which caste the candidate belongs to or whether he/she will distribute TV sets or free rice bags for everyone. Where are the more important issues in all this mess? Where are the intellectuals holding productive discussions and debates to educate the illiterate voters on what needs their immediate attention? Elections alone don't matter much. It's the thoughts and ideas behind the change that do. [/QUOTE]
