Let
us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us.
The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and
congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country. -Franklin D. Roosevelt
Governments of a
country draws its power from the Supreme law of land i.e. Constitution of that
country. Constitution is the bible of how the government would run its business
along with the administration, law and order, vigilance, rights and else. The
process of election is a machinery to find out most suitable and eligible
candidate who can perform his duty on behalf of the people. Therefore, ‘the
government formed by the people, of the people and for the people shall not be
perished from Earth’.
Representative
Democracy is being practiced in India. There are two national level parties
proposes their ideology among public domain. Indian electors are very mature in
ratifying the proposal or to reject it. Approval or rejection of a proposal in
case of national agenda has a deep impact on democracy. However, people do
elect most eligible candidate for next tenure. The elected candidate enjoys the
supreme power in law and policy making. There is no any authorized rule to
overthrow this candidate if s/he fails to perform. It became a master whether
once promised to be a servant and the people who are the authentic master
became slave – that completely contradicts the statement by Mr. Roosevelt.
However, if the elected
member is failed to perform as well as unable to deliver an issue, Indian
Political System has no instrument for impeachment. The elected member is safe
till the legislature get dissolved for the new election. It inevitably implies,
people have no right to raise their voice if the person not fit for the post.
Accordingly, right to vote implies only involving the adult franchise to the
polity.
