I believe regional parties is not good for the country. Two party system is better for India. Anyway, the reaons why we have regional parties is just to satsify the ego and selfish political interests on leaders. Once they establish parties, aren't they following the same policies of either BJP or Congress. IN addition to that, with too many parties, there are too many leaders who are involved in govt. formation and decision making. It is making he country progress slowly. Look how many people shikhandi Manmohan Singh has to consult before he signs each file. Is that how we are supposed to progress? Also, having a PM and another person as leader of the party is not good either. One man one post should be made an exception to the top post. When Vajpayee, Rajiv and Indira were PM's people didn't worry about dual centers of power. Now our PM was made so irrelevant, I sometimes doubt if India has a working PM at all. In theory, one man one post sounds relevant but in practice, especially in India, it doesn't work. Look at the spectacle of how 5 elected MLA's were trying to avoid some states friendly to Congress to reach Rashtrapathi Bhavan. How is that these MLA's became criminals on some states and heroes on other states? Wasn't India one nation? Don't we have one criminal justice system? Then what is this? Isn't it obvious that regional parties are administering their own criminal justice system and politicizing it.
It also explains the need for a federal police force in the lines of FBI.
We also need to move to the system of direct election to PM and CM's post and elect legislature seperately, basically a Presidential form of govt. The only reason why communists are against this proposal is that, they will loose leverage in govt. formation and resulting loss of power and relevancy. It is time we choose out chief executive rather than let some Italian mafia lady appoint someone of her wish.
