Opposition unity

Delhi's historic Ramlila Maidan has been witness to events that changed the course and direction of Indian politics. Only time will tell whether the 'Save Democracy Rally' of India's opposition front will bring any major change in politics or not, but there is no doubt that through this rally the parties in India were successful in demonstrating their strength and unity. . Many issues were raised in this rally, among which the alleged misuse of central agencies and political corruption are prominent. This was natural after the arrest of former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.

As soon as the details of transaction of donations through electoral bonds came to light, leaders of opposition parties attacked BJP and tried to send the message that the Modi government talks about fighting corruption, but is itself a 'fraud'. In the collection.' There is no doubt that the details of donations given through electoral bonds have raised many serious questions, but it cannot be ignored that the companies in whose names it is being said that the Modi government has Donations have been obtained by exerting undue pressure. Many of them have also donated generously to opposition parties. Political corruption is a bitter truth, but it is equally true that no one is innocent in this matter.

Whatever the opposition parties may claim, the truth is that even they do not have a solution to the problem of political corruption. Black money has been used in politics and no one can claim that it will not happen in future. The opposition leaders who are facing investigation by central agencies or have to go to jail on corruption charges cannot be said to have done anything wrong.

Now it remains to be seen how much impact the opposition parties' efforts to corner the Modi government by raising the issue of political corruption will have on the people of the country and whether they will feel the need to bring this alliance to power or not. , Another issue raised loudly in this rally was that if BJP comes to power again, democracy will end and so will the Constitution.

It is difficult to understand how democracy and the Constitution will end if a party wins power for the third consecutive time. After all, this is not the first time that a party is looking likely to win the elections for the third consecutive time. Therefore, it would be good if the opposition parties try to start an effective discussion on the basis of some more concrete issues. Now the voters are ready to give their mandate during the general elections.
