New Delhi: PM Modi’s persistent attacks on the opposition alliance reveals the real phobia he harbours a coalition govt could replace his rule, CPI-M has said. “Not a day passes in the campaign without Modi attacking the mahagatbandhan or opposition alliance as a mahamilavat (great adulteration) and depicting them as a bunch of power hungry opportunists,” said an editorial in CPI-M journal People’s Democracy.
Modi has argued a coalition govt would jeopardise development, a weak govt cannot ensure national security and the oppn alliance in UP and other places is opportunist. “Such a persistent attack on opposition alliance reveals the real phobia Modi harbours about the prospects of a coalition government replacing his rule,” the Communist Party of India-Marxist said in the editorial.
The editorial pointed out that coalition governments have been the norm, barring some exceptions, since 1977 and that such governments have provided stable administration and their record on “development” is not very different from other govts.
