Modi must put India House in order before he leaves Office —1
Narendra Modi is a disappointment only because he is also a hope.’ — From the book ‘A New Idea of India’
Study of Political Science teaches that people do not know what they want; therefore, it is the duty of the government to give them what they want. But the question arises, who is this government who is expected to give? And does the government really know what the people want?
In our country, as in America, it is “We the People” who give to ourselves the kind of government we want; because it is “We the People” who choose our government through an electoral process.
Which is why governments have various schemes and programmes to give people (rich and poor) what they do not know what they want! To jest, for the rich tax cut. To the poor freebies! Under our Democratic Constitution, we have a number of Constitutional Institutions and Constitutional Authorities — Parliament (MPs); Executive (bureaucrats); Judiciary (Judges) and various Commissions like Election, Finance, UPSC, CAG, now GST etc. etc.
For Democracy to be stable and function efficiently, the Parliament, which is supreme and sovereign must ensure that all the Constitutional Institutions and Authorities are functioning as per the laws and the Constitutional Morality.
