Shiv Sena – an opposition Congress love to have

“May be in the next elections we should vote for an opposition as well as a government.”
A government by the people, for the people of the people may be the most popular definition of democracy but in my opinion the most important aspect of a democratic government is the opposition.
The opposition keeps a check on the government; ensure that tit is periodically reminded of its purpose – to serve the people.
In Maharashtra the opposition largely has been and still is The Shiv Sena and now MNS to give it company and in my opinion, it’s the perfect opposition a government can ask for and that is why the worst opposition the public can ask for. An opposition that doesn’t want to think about the real issues of the state like the farmer suicides, the housing problems, the encroachments, the crumbling infrastructure, and water crisis but is always ready to create ruckus about things like comments made by Sharukh Khan on the Pakistani players in IPL, Rahul Gandhi on claiming Mumbai belongs to all Indians.
Makes the life of government very easy, doesn’t it?
May be in the next elections we should vote for an opposition as well as a government.
