The politics of power :
On talk shows many participants often say that ” one party wants to remain in power and the other party wants to go to power “. I cannot agree with it. The first part is correct, the second part is incorrect.
The present government came to power in a devious way, staging many drama and declared that it is constitutionally bound and within a short time an inclusive election will be held. But one year has passed, the government is saying that there will be no election before 2019, so it is clear that it wants to cling to power at any cost, not caring how it affects the country.
On the other hand, to come to power the other party must have people’s support, without peoples’ verdict in their favour they will not be able to form a government. It is impossible for any one to come to power in any other way so there is a vast difference between the two parties .
The country is heading towards a perilous condition, the party in power must discard their desire to remain at the helm and thus save our beloved country from destructions.
