Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

THIS WILL TRANSFORM INDIA !


Revolution Through Coalition Government ?

==========

German Federal elections ended Sunday evening at 6 pm ( German time )


Approx 30 seconds later , the large TV screen in the headquarters of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Party showed a graph ( bar charts ) which gave following “ Exit Poll “ for the votes polled :


CDU / CCU………………………..……………….. 34.7 %    (  246  seats  )
Social Democratic Party…………………….. 21.6 %    (  153  seats  )
AFD………………………………………………………13,3  %    (  94  seats   )
FDP …………………………………………………….  11.3%     (  80  seats  )
Greens…………………………………………………..  9.4 %    (  67  seats  )
Die Link………………………………………………….  9.7  %   (  69  seats  )
Others……………………………………………………   5.1  % 


As in past , it is expected that Angela Merkel will form a Coalition Government with support of either SDP or ( should it decide to sit in the opposition ) with support of several smaller parties , distributing among the partners , Ministerial Births , in proportion to their relative strengths


COALITION is the WAY , in which she has managed , not only to stay in power for the last 12 years ( and the next 4 ) but also introduced REFORMS which made GERMAN  ECONOMY  the flag-bearer of prosperity for the rest of the Europe


But, for her, this “ CONVENTIONAL  COALITION “, requires tough / tenuous bargaining  !


If German Constitution were to mandate a  “ CONSTITUTIONAL  COALITION “ where ALL  parties  AUTOMATICALLY  get Ministerial Births in proportion to the number of seats won , then she would have no headache !


That ( CONSTITUTIONAL  COALITION ) is what we in India need !


Of course , that would require amending our Constitution , which would never happen in  normal circumstances


But , it could easily happen if the circumstances were  ABNORMAL  !


For example :


In current Lok Sabha , BJP has 282 seats ( 52 % of the total ) – a simple majority


Now , as planned by Amitbhai Shah , if in 2019 elections , BJP wins 355 seats ( 67 % - an absolute majority ) , that would indeed , be an ABNORMAL circumstance !


If , at that time , BJP was to propose a Government of Proportional Representation , no other party would object ( - having been either rendered irrelevant or been decimated ! )


Each of those “ losing parties “ would stand to get SOME minister-ships , and get a chance to influence the DECISION – MAKING , from within the government , instead of just shouting slogans in the Lok Sabha !


A proposal of this nature , coming from the VICTORIOUS  BJP ( which would have little NEED for support from any party ) would be nothing less than REVOLUTIONARY  !


It would , be a concrete demonstration on part of BJP , of its core belief of :


Sabka  Saath ,  Sabka  Vikas (  Progress through Partnership )


No political party will even dare to oppose such a “ MAGNANIMOUS  GESTURE  “ of BJP !


And this gesture will ensure that , in 2024 general elections , BJP returns with an overwhelming majority !


I am sure , such a “ psychological opportunity  of a life time “ , would not escape the cold calculations of Shri Modi  !

  
For details of the proposal – and how it will change the face of GOVERNANCE , read my following blogs ( earlier sent as E Mails to Ministers / MPs / MLA s ) :
