While NDA is composed of certain development oriented, anti-Congress Parties, the UPA and the anti-BJP United Front is composed of Anti-BJP, anti-development, vote bank players, and a group of parties who align with the INC when they cannot come to power on their own and have spent their whole lives waiting to form a Government without the BJP and the Congress on their own. Well, times have changed the anti-BJP United Front and the INC are aware of BJP’s strong presence and are ready to reconcile their fake ideologies just to keep BJP out of power, we need to clear an illusion, future contests whether Assembly or Lok Sabha Elections are not going to be three cornered contests but two cornered between NDA and the erstwhile anti-BJP United Front with INC playing a second fiddle role, this has been the result of a strong sense of similarity that INC, RJD, JDU, AAP, TMC and other such Pseudo Seculars have shown since NDA came to power. This has been strongly reflected in Bihar and Delhi Elections of 2015 where all the non NDA parties came on a single platform. Hence, here are the reasons as to why we need to be aware what the erstwhile anti-BJP United Front has an offer if it comes to power, for it is going to be the biggest catastrophe if that happens in the next Lok Sabha Polls scheduled in 2019.
Why the Anti-BJP United Front is becoming a reality?
Before looking into the implications of what is now a so called anti-BJP United Front, it is necessary to analyse why it has suddenly become a harsh reality. Bihar and Delhi Elections are the important events which have somewhat made it a reality, the anti-development and pseudo secular block started to come into place prior to the Delhi Elections, when vote bank politicians such as Owaisi, Mamta, Mulayam started to lend their support to Kejriwal, this only became more definite prior to the Bihar Elections when these power hungry parties gave up their party lines and fake ideologies to come together on a single stage, the most ironic of all the events being a self-acclaimed anti-corruption crusader joining hands with the Chara Chor and devoting his Socia Media team for his campaign. It is clear that BJP does still possess a lot of firepower, so the so called socialists and staunch Communists have joined hands to get together in States which define Indian Politics and where they have a high vote share, it certainly provides for a worrisome political scenario.
Anti-BJP United Front means Multiple Power Centres and a weak PMO:
So, if such a divided coalition comes into power, the Prime Minister, whichever leader it may be, will be a narcissist possessing a strong personality, but will have a weak PMO out of coalition compulsions leading to such political friction that the Union of India has never seen. We have had the experience of a weak PMO in the predecessor Government; we have seen its implications, which need not to be emphasized as the memories are still fresh with us. Such a Government at the Centre will take us back to the days of inefficient Coalition Governments where Horse Trading becomes part and parcel of the National Politics. This observation is not a biased political analysis, we have the examples of HD Deve Gowda and IK Gujaral, two of India’s weakest Prime Ministers till date, under whom the nation went through a miserable phase of political and economic instability.
Adapting to such a government will be even more difficult given the current strong PMO and a stable Government.
Anti-BJP United Front means Failed Economic Policies:
According to the Parliamentary Debates, Nehru stated after the inauguration of Ashoka Hotel, that the State will build Hotels, and out of the profits, it will construct Hospitals and Schools, well the Ashoka Hotel is still running under losses, this is just an example, under the pressure of Nehruvian Socialism, we adopted an economic policy, where the State tried to everything through its Public Sector Undertakings and failed to do anything well, a course correction was made in 1991 when we liberalized our economy, but the major players in the anti-BJP United Front still believe in Pseudo Socialism, the Samajwadi Party, for instance, shows its samajwad on an annual basis when State Money is blatantly spent on Mulayam’s Birthday, and Mayawati’s socialism still has its impressions all over UP in the form of her party symbol. Well, if these Socialists, with another impractical CPI (M) come into power, the Indian Economy which is in the state of revival and the fastest growing in the World as of now, is bound to go for a toss. It would also mean, that we move back to the days of UPA Government where corruption was a weekly phenomenon, this along with the Chara Chor, will sure be a perfect recipe for complete demolition of the Indian Economy.
Anti-BJP United Front means Vote Bank Politics:
Anti-BJP United Front means Dynasty Politics:
Mulayam Singh’s son is about to complete the term of his CM office, Lalu has launched his son, Abdhullas also give a strong sense of dynasty politics and the INC clearly works on monarchical lines, a anti-BJP United Front hints at a monarchical set up for the biggest democracy of the world. This is yet another disaster of having a Anti-BJP United Front at the Central Government.
Conclusion:
Over the past 2 year or so, the people of India, have shown a tendency of bringing full majority governments into power, both at the Centre and in the States, for the sake of stability, it is probable that people have realized the futility of coalition governments and the need of stable and strong governments, this makes a anti-BJP United Front victory in 2019 unlikely, but the BJP should remain careful and divert full energy on governance with an eye on 2019 polls, as it is the question of keeping India in safe hands, the anti-BJP United Front has the capability of destroying India, politically, socially and economically. It has all kinds of problems to offer ranging from personality clashes to instability to Vote Bank Politics.
Modi, as of now is without an iota of doubt, is the most popular leader in India, Rahul does not have any popularity and will do well to save Amethi in 2019, the so called Samajwadis and inheritors/destroyers of Lohia’s legacy are confined to single states and none matches the charisma of Modi but NDA despite of its firepower lacks in political shrewdness, its spokesperson are lethargic and has to still resolve all its internal friction.
The BJD and AIADMK will certainly become more significant as we approach 2019, as these two players have remained somewhat non aligned, a lot will depend on which path Naveen Patanaik and Jayalalitha take up, if they go with the United Front, it will make it that much stronger but if they remain unaligned or join BJP even in a conditional manner, then it will mean a demoralized and somewhat weak United Front.
