So 30%+ will rule over 70%+ with impunity and not listen to them ?..

NDA has got nearly 40% of combined vote share in 2014 .However,  since 1999 Congress party has never had vote shares above 28% , so if 28% could rule, scam and loot with impunity , I guess 40% can definitely try and reform a rotten system left over by the previous regime and the rest of the 60% of the people too will listen ..

@ anil...the criteria for a national party is to win from at least 3 states and have a vote share of 6% and above and TMC has one seat each from Manipur, Tripura ,  Arunachal Pradesh and of course West Bengal !

Thanks for sharing it, Indeed I did,t know about it. But it is not enough to challange a big party like BJP. 

For looting you do not require any % of votes. My point is that when a party comes to power with 25 or 30% votes then can it disregard the other 70% who have also received votes for their programs. Does a ruling party with much less than 50% have an absolute right to rule ignoring the 70% that did not vote for it. Should there be not more consultations between the parties rather than confrontation. This will lead to better governance.

The previous regime has set in many bad precedence and autocratic rule was one of them which thankfully the present govt has not inherited nor practiced. But on the other hand the opposition led by this party is still practicing the same ol dictatorial attitude , probably feeling that they have the right to do so since they are the only one fit to rule. When there is immense jealousy brewing at the PMs  popularity , more so now after the recent election results , is there any scope for consultation? do they even listen to reason,I doubt it very much ..

So should we change to two party rule? 50% or more is possible only then. For time being number of seats decides who will rule!

Then let the impasse continue. BJP did not cooperate earlier and now Congress will not. When power is goton narrow baseof25-30 % basis then it should be imperative to cooperate and do good for the country. Also when will @Usha come out of the 'Previous regime' syndrome. t will help her to develop a new line of arguments.

I guess it is quits since @ vijay has also a previous regime fixation , so waiting for him  to come out of it , broaden his views and develop new lines of arguments..

I am not in it so question of my coming out does not arise. Almost always I have reacted and rarely if ever acted. I would once again make it clear I have no love lost for the Congress. In your trying to explain everything on the communal, castist, corrupt Congress I take the stand that it is no point in blaming it. Their innings is over. But you conclude that I have fixation for them. My efforts are wasted. But are they?

No use. The Bhakti towards Congress made them narrow minded and selfish.

@usha I was not in the previous regime fixation. But to satisfy you I hereby declare that if you feel I was in it I hereby come out of it. Could you also do the same please. Too much to expect Rambabu to do the same.

Ok, fair enough , let us have rationale discussions ..

If parties who got 70% join hand no one disregard them.

Yes you are right but for that both sides have to come down somewhat from their stated positions. Will they?

Here in this case a compromise in any manner would mean compromising on principles but on other matters where there is scope for flexibility, both the sides shd put their egos on the back seat and think of the citizens interest.

What principles, no opposition party has opposed the fight against black money or demonetisation.

So why is the opposition going on marches and creating a ruckus within the Parliament? Mamata Banerjee giving ultimatum to the PM to roll back the demonetization..of course in the bargain he made a fool of herself by going too far and involving the army 

Yes Mamata was mighty wrong in the army episode. She should not have done what she did. Her is the only party asking for roll back which is not possible even if demonetisation goes wrong. But democracy gives her that right. Does the PM not blame without evidence that the black money of his rival parties has been neutralised. Such games go on in democracy.

Mamta Banerjee and kejriwal have gone too far and failed. I think most of the time these days, they are in a blame game politics and have let governance slip off their hand

Yes they are far more ambitious than they are capable of. But voters are supporting Mamata increasingly. Kejriwal is still to be tested.

Are you dreaming ? All the destructive forces joined hands to destabilize the Government. But, Modi has firmly decided to go on with his plans.

No I am not.  Mamata has received solid support in WB.
