Srinagar, 23-June: Speaking at a seminar organised by Asia Pacific Lawyers Association and Jurists International in Delhi today noted Supreme Court Senior Advocate and distinguished fellow United Services Institute (USI) said : The. Constitutional democracy in India is the world recognised instrument and process as a great leveller of the highest,mighty.& appearingly so called self claiming invincible political parties.
Bhan said, In recently concluded general elections in India where more than 640 million people voted in a marathon seven-week election, hailed as a “world record” by election authorities. Nearly half of the voters were women,The opposition has staged a remarkable come back that has Chastened the often described invincible Modi -Shah dueo.The voters have virtually reprimanded the Bhartiya Janata Party by reducing it to 240 seats.
Many world leaders have crawled across the finishing line in their third term elections and Mr Modi is no exception. Bhan said
The BJP remains India’s fractured party by seats, and Mr Modi secures a third term with the help of his allies, as the prime minister,who the principal opposition Congress Party tauntingly describes as one third Premier of India
Bhan says : The significant loss of seats for Modi’s party – more than 50 – dims the allure of a third term, especially given his virulent campaign targeting 400 coalition seats, making anything less seem like an under-achievement.
This has led to jubilation in the Congress camp and some despair in BJP quarters. Despite the BJP emerging as the single largest party, the burden of hype and expectations has left many of their supporters disheartened.
Mr Modi’s supporters believe securing a third term can be attributed to several factors: a record of stable governance, the appeal of continuity, efficient welfare programmes, and the perception that he has enhanced India’s global image.
BJP’s Revoking the constitutional special status of Indian-part of Kashmir granted by Constituent assembly and reducing the State of Jammu & Kashmir to two Union territories,have angered JK & Ladakh people,building the Ram temple in Ayodhya and implementing a controversial citizenship law & Many BJP-ruled states have implemented laws tightening regulations on interfaith marriages has cost the BJP reduction in their tally of seats.
Whatever the results of elections-THE PEOPLES DEMOCRACY has triumphed and come to stay in India as a legitimate means to reinforce inclusive societal ethos,protect Indian Secular polity and to Check & Balance the high handed ness of the power managers; Bhan emphasised
“Salute to people of India.”
