Past experience shows that a majority government does more harm than good, so the nation needs a coalition government (“Modi warns against coalition regime,” Jan. 31). The Emergency under Congress rule and the failures of this government such as demonetisation, weak implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, the breakdown of institutions, and a frayed social fabric show why “strong and big decisions” are a problem.
While the Prime Minister and the BJP president are trying to convince the people that too many cooks spoil the broth, Indians must remember that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
