In my view our law should be changed according to the changed situation, because if there will no party majority, then from the starting horse riding and bribery and demands will start and will people should believe that allaince that they will rule india for the improvement of people? never they will start saving their own to meet next election by any time they know.So BETTER TO SUGGEST PEOPLE CAN ELECT THEIR OWN REPRECENTATIVE AND IF NO ONE GETTING MAJORITY AND THE HIGHEST ONE AND THE SECOND SHOULD RULE THE COUNTRY WITH EACH AND EVERITHING SHOULD BE APPROVED WITH PARLIMENT WITH TWO THIRD MAJORITY THEM DEMOCRACY WILL GET STRENGTH AND SURE NO ONE CAN SELL INDIA TO ANYBODY AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY COMMUNAL FIGHT, SO WE EXEPECT BEETER INDIA.

what was that brutal about the ‘brutal’ assasination. Mrs Indira Ghandi was not taken hostage, she was not tortured,
She was shot and killed. Please use appopriate adjuctives.

There seems to be another political party by he name “LOK SATTA” which seems to be building-up on good-governance and anti-corruption.

Corruption is the biggest head-ache to the people who are longing for good-governance.

So, Lok Satta might have a chance to have a say in the formation of the next government since they seem to be fielding “clean” candidates who are against corruption and the younger generation is also against corruption.

Let us wait and see whether “corruption” or “anti-corruption” is going to be endorsed by the general public.

Looking to current political scenerio there are only two political parties worth consideration. The are Congress and BJP. In my view (not necessarily acceptable to majority of voters) these parties should come together after elections and the Prime Minister will be leader of the party winning more seats. If they decide to join hands then other modelities like formation of Council of Ministers and allocation of portfolios can be decided later on. Both the paraties have almost same policies and agenda for election. Both are for financial liberalisation, both are mature parties. Both are not in favour of actually reaching logical solution of constructing Ram Temple as this issue is being kept alive. Both parties are adept in making exaggarated promises and exploiting
voters. By far they are only best parties. Others are simply opportunists. I hope good sense will prevail in the minds of leaders of both the parties and lead the country towards a “21st Century of India”.

[...] While prior to the elections it seemed that the race would be between the ruling Congress Party and its coalition and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that was ousted in the 2004 general elections, India’s psephologists, analysts, observers, digital tea readers, and astrologers have been left “scratching their heads with some recent developments,” reports GlobalVoices.com.
