India Coalition Says Government Stable

Tags: Current Focus, India,
The influence of regional political parties in India continues as the Congress party depends on the Samajwadi party in Uttar Pradesh led by Mulam Singh Yadav for its majority in parliament in 2013. This follows the withdrawal of support first of the party of Mamta Banerjee in West Bengal in 2012 on retail foreign investment issue, and the withdrawal of support of the DMK party in Tamilnadu state over the Sri Lankan issue in 2013. Not only are the regional political parties based in a particular state, they are also dominated by political personalities, such as that of Yadav in Uttar Pradesh (UP), Banerjee in W. Bengal, and Karunanidhi in Tamilnadu. Tamilnadu is in the south with a language Tamil of Dravidian origin, and W. Bengal is in the northeast near the Burmese and Bangladesh border with its own language Bengali of very different origin and completely different script. The regional parties have little in common. Some like the DMK in Tamilnadu are small parties with 18 member in parliament. Congress coalition government has 230 members and needs 270 for a parliamentary majority.

Mamata Banerjee of W. Bengal, parties in Tamilnadu and Uttar pradesh states, and the influence of regional political parties in India 2010-2014
05/03/2009
Mamata Banerjee won elections in W. Bengal, removing the Communist party from control in the state after 25 years. The ruling coaltiion government in India depended on her support in 2012. This also limited its flexibility because of Banerjee's opposition to opening up the retail sector to foreign investment. After the withdrawal of support of Banerjee's West Bengal party, and withdrawal of support from the DMK party in Tamilnadu over the Sri Lankan issue, the Congress party government in India depends on support from the Samajwadi party in Uttar Pradesh for its majority in parliament.

How Emerging Markets Can Get Their Mojo Back
Wall Street Journal 09/12/2013
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
