The exit of Nitish Kumar from the BJP after a successful
electoral alliance of 17 years is a turning point in the Indian political
scenario. When the BJP emerged as a political party capable enough to counter
the congress, it was the regional parties which sided either with the congress
or the BJP, creating a bipolar political balance in the name of UPA and NDA.
Since then we have been seeing the rule of these power blocks for more than a
decade.
The current development is likely to result in the formation
of a third front of regional satraps leading to a tri polar electoral battle in
the coming Lok sabha election. On one side this runs the risk of no group
getting an absolute majority resulting in a weak government and governance. On
the other side it is an opportunity for the people to select a single party.
India’s political landscape is now filled left right and centre and this
elections are going to be a watershed elections paving way to new experiments
in democracy . Lot of debates on secularism, nationalism, corruption and regionalism.
Which issue is going to tilt votes is yet to be seen
