The curious case of Chief Ministership


[ ##thumbs-o-up##  Share Testimonial here - make our day!]

The post of state governors has always been a matter of intense controversy and debate over the last couple of decades, be it regarding their appointment by successive governments of their actions thereafter. The current political crisis in Tamil Nadu is no exception. The actions of the Governor (or lack of it), howsoever unbiased, are creating suspicions in the mind of one of the political camps. Ideally, the election of the Chief Minister of a state should be done by the elected representatives of the majority party, and the governor should play no role in it. In the Tamil Nadu crisis (Feb 2017 onwards), there was no reason for the governor to first show his preference and make that as a factor in the choice of the chief minister. The best course for him should be to convene the assembly and ask it to elect its leader. A lot has also been said about India’s democratic system being run by political parties with no inner party democracy. Almost all political parties in India exhibit this culture, including the AIADMK. Here, the governor should play a positive role to make amends rather than to add up to the democracy deficit. Then and then alone Indian democracy can sustain and remain healthy. Read a comprehensive Bodhi on Changing trends in Indian politics here.
