What the govt is offering in steps, why could it not do the same before passing the laws? The biggest problem with this BJP govt. is its presidential style of functioning where the head of the govt does not believe in consultation, doesn’t give presss conferences, manipulates the spineless press, uses brute majority to force its own views. Compare this with the governance of Nehru who had complete majority, but he promoted opposition from his own party members too. BJP can never think of getting such majority without using undemocratic tactics. When this realization takes root in even 30% of Indians, it’ll be the end of BJP.
