Possibility of early elections in India
posted by Laxminarayan Gopal on Tuesday, February 13, 2018
There is a strong rumble that the BJP may call for early Central elections in India - perhaps as early as end-2018. There are good reasons for this:
1 The growing disenchantment and disillusion in the country with the present Government is visible, audible and almost tangible. The more the delay the more the danger.
2 The recent Budget with its populist measures like health care for the poor and increased MSP has created a temporary feel good factor. Early elections will help capitalize on that factor before it expires.
3 Several important State (Assembly) elections are also going to be held this year. Holding both Central and Local elections at the same time may pay off in voter support. After all the 'son of the soil' plea which worked in Gujarat cannot be used in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
4) And finally Rahul Gandhi whom the Sanghis derided and mocked (and continue doing so) as Pappu is beginning to show maturity and charisma - signs which are intensely worrying even anxiety evoking to the Sanghis. Delaying elections may result Rahul's impact getting stronger.
We will know in a few months .....
