Indian Coalition politics: No party should field more than 50% of the total seats the coalition wants to contest. Indian coalition politics has come to stay while the major political outfits continue to loot the nation’s resources aided by various agencies. Coalition politics has increased the levels of corruption. Now the practice is in favor the major political party that leads the coalition to field as many seats as possible, leaving remaining seats for others to share. Obviously, the main party gains more seats after the poll. A major party like Congress party and BJP have decided to go for coalition in polls because they are sure of not wining the seats necessary to form the f government and with the help from other parties they could from the ministry. In the process, what is I happening are the main parties exploiting other parties to garner votes and seats in the parliament and state assemblies. Hence the Election commission must stipulate the maximum number so seats a party in a coalition can contest and the number of cabinet positions after the poll when form the government. No party, however big that may be can contest more than 50% of the total seats the coalition wants to contest. If any party requires more seats or more ministerial berths, they should contest alone and try their luck This method, if implemented, will go a long way n streamlining Indian politics and check political corruption especially during the poll and government formation stages. Since the parliament and regime may be interested in combating corruption this way, only Election commission with help from judiciary can help the people to get a corruption-crime- free government.
