In a parliamentary democracy, it is vital to have a vigilant opposition, one that can counter the government on issues bearing potentially undesirable implications on people and the country at large. As has been the trend in the last thirty years, the dispensation has been motley of political parties glued with common agenda of sharing power at the centre. But the scenario was not so with regard to opposition in the Parliament, as this was occupied by singular political party, be it the one or another.
If we examine the electoral history of the last thirty years, in comparison to the General election for Lok Sabha held in 2014, the last election to have delivered absolute majority was that in 1984. This was when the Congress party was able to garner unprecedented numbers of seats tallying 415 as attributed to the sympathy wave following the assassination of the late PM Indira Gandhi. The opposition role was played by the Telugu Desam Party, led by film star from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, N. T. Rama Rao and had emerged as the second largest party with 30 seats. TDP became the national opposition party despite being a regional party; the first and only regional political party to achieve the distinction since independence.

The stratagem of obstructionism employed by the opposition has manoeuvred the government to bring in Ordinances to pass laws of imminent significance. Such antagonistic behavioural pattern of the opposition is best exemplified with the hostage of GST bills in Parliament, particularly in the Rajya Sabha, where it has the numbers. The government too should showcase its might with its majority by calling in for joint session of the Parliament to formulate legislations and as an act of deterrence to recalcitrant opposition. The onus is very much on the opposition to prove itself to the voters as an alternate to the government by keeping the essence of Parliamentary democracy alive.
