  • If It Wasn't So Tragic It Would Almost Be Ironic. the Current
    If it wasn’t so tragic it would almost be ironic. The current government's brazen imposition of President's Rule in Uttrakhand (barely a few months after a similar power grab in Arunachal Pradesh) should be enough to alert the nation to the sinister designs of the Narendra Modi government and a brazen subversion of federalism by the Modi-Amit Shah duo. It has barely been a few months since Prime Minister Modi pledged his support to the ideals of “cooperative federalism”. It was to be the foundation of his vision of democracy. Alas, it is with a whimper that the ideal has been sacrificed – not once but twice - at the altar of his political avarice. This is not surprising, considering that this is a government whose actions have rung decibels louder than its words (of which too, there is no shortage). But what is truly alarming is the scant disregard to established constitutional mores and traditions by the government with "power at all costs" being its sole guiding motto. We are also mindful that as an Opposition, we are responsible for bringing these issues to the knowledge of the public and make them aware of the heinous nature of what has occurred. To this end, I seek to explain why what has occurred in Uttarakhand is a travesty, not just of simple notions of justice but also of the Constitution of India. During the decade-long term of service of the Congress-led UPA government, power was never used in such a capricious and whimsical fashion. The Congress practised cooperative federalism in spirit and allowed states (several of them led by the BJP) to grow, with minimal interference and maximum support.
