Never Underestimate the Magic of Coalition | State of Politics in India

Season 1 · Episode 22

Monday, April 7, 2025 • Duration 19:47

BJP has to deal with the whims and fancies of Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar for the next five years. "Ohh, that's gonna slow economic reforms!", exclaimed many people. Some expressed through writings, comments and interviews while some crashed the stock market. Well, it seems they do not understand how the country - its politics, bureaucracy, politicians and economy - works. This video is a reminder to everyone that we have seen better reforms and economic growth under coalition governments than a majority. So, no, reforms are not going anywhere. Yes, the pace might slow down a bit and that's the function of democracy, right? I would say, a healthy function. Also, the increased role of coalition and opposition is necessary for the country like India, where institutions are less developed. I believe there will be slew of reforms under this government. I would add another layer to it. I believe that this government can (if it wants to) bring some of the toughest economic reforms like land and labour if it keeps its eyes, ears and arms open.
