Hindu Editorial Vocab On Telangana Politics

With the defection of MLA M. Sanjay Kumar, who represents the Jagtial constituency in Telangana, from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) to the ruling Congress, the strength of the principal Opposition has come down from 39 to 33 in the State Assembly. True, such defections have plagued India, and several States, including Telangana, since its inception (the beginning of an organization or official activity) in 2014, have seen mass defections. Despite winning 63 of the 119 Assembly seats, Telangana’s first Chief Minister, the BRS’s K. Chandrashekhar Rao, effected a series of defections across the political opposition, until he was able to garner a brute majority of 90 MLAs and the dissolution of the State unit of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) by the end of his first term in office in 2018. Such defections, much like the current case, violated the 10th Schedule of India’s 1985 Anti Defection Law, which was amended in 2003 to provide an exception to disqualifications (the act of stopping someone from taking part in a competition or activity, usually because a rule has been broken, or the state of having this happen to you) if the defectors formed two-thirds of a party and merged (to combine or join together, or to cause things to do this) with another party. This rule and the absolute power vested with the Speaker of the Assembly and the Chair of the Council to decide on members’ disqualifications, without setting any time limit to do so, have often rendered the law ineffective (not producing the effects or results that are wanted). The Telangana Assembly Speaker is the ruling party’s Vikarabad MLA, Gaddam Prasad Kumar. While he must serve in the interest of fostering (to encourage the development or growth of ideas or feelings) principled democratic practices, seldom have Speakers, in the States or at the Centre, risen above their party’s diktats.

Mr. Kumar’s defection has particularly caused some disquiet in the Congress, as it has slighted T. Jeevan Reddy, the candidate who lost the Jagtial Assembly seat. Mr. Reddy now serves as a Congress MLC. The Telangana Chief Minister, A. Revanth Reddy, has been accused of attempting defections in the past, the most infamous being his attempt in 2015 — when he was a TDP member — to bribe a nominated (to officially suggest someone for an election, job, position, or honour) member of the House, Elvis Stephenson, to vote in favour of the TDP. These defections go against the spirit of participatory democracy, where the existence (the fact of something or someone existing) of a strong Opposition enhances governance and acts as a check on unilateral decisions taken by the ruling government. The experience of the past 10 years, both in New Delhi and in Hyderabad, has made apparent (able to be seen or understood) the dangers of parties with brute majorities. With a stronger Opposition at the Centre in 2024, perhaps it is time to seek more amendments (a change or changes made to the words of a text) to the anti-defection law. Prescribing a timeline for Speakers and Chairpersons to decide on disqualifications might not be enough; the power must be vested (vested shares, pension plans, etc. can be kept by an employee who has worked the necessary number of years for a particular company) with an independent Election Commission.
