Trading Power (eBook, ePUB)

The Inside Story of How the People's Mandate was Betrayed in the 2019 Maharashtra Election

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

IN OCTOBER 2019, THE ASSEMBLY elections held in Maharashtra saw a decisive mandate in favour of the pre-poll Mahayuti alliance of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena, against the Maha Aghadi alliance of the Nationalist Congress Party and the Indian National Congress. But what followed shook the very foundations of democracy. With the Shiv Sena unexpectedly staking claim to the chief minister's post, and the BJP unwilling to give in to their demand, the battle for the coveted top spot began in earnest and President's Rule was imposed in the state. Featuring swiftly shifting alliances, the abandonment of long-held party ideologies, dynastic bombast and overnight reversals, the high-octane drama culminated in Uddhav Thackeray of the Shiv Sena taking oath as chief minister of Maharashtra on 28 November 2019. The BJP - the single-largest party in the legislature, with almost double the seats of the second-in-line Shiv Sena - found itself side-lined and left without power. Recounting in dramatic detail the high-stakes battle for political control of a crucial state, Trading Power throws into sharp focus the manipulations and narrow motivations that rule politics in the country today, ultimately leading to a gross betrayal of the people's mandate.
