Mr. Arun Shourie very rigthly says that there is less of Bharat or India in this election process. what one sees is the mushrooming refional parties or tribal parties if we may say so. They only espouse the cause of local issues at the cost of the national issues.It is time we ban regional parrties and bring some legislation to ensure that disgruntled elements and criminals are not allowed from floating small parties. this is imperative as our electorate largely belong to the semi literate group which get swayed whenever a local goon or neta floats a party and espouses local burning issues. And once they get elected the issues are conveniently forgotten by the these eleted goons. If we do not have have a check on these mushrooming splinter groups in the coming years we will become a tribal nation. One wonders if we are fit for democracy.

Two three decades back national parties were dominant everywhere but the biggest problem is that the national parties hardly understands the regional issues and those regional issues are best taken care by regional parties. Remember that INDIA can progress only if our rular india starts prograss i mean to say nation development should start from in i.e from rular india and then go outwards i.e towards urban india. Today we have hundreds of Multiplexes, and what not at the same time we have villages which are still strugling for electricity. Our national parties have badly failed to reach regional peiople and therefore you see regional parties comming up.

True. In TN BJP and Cong are shrinking while smaller parties are having a say in Parli elections.
