New Delhi/Patna. Parliament is not being made a platform for debate but a ground for confrontation; Rahul Gandhi himself instigates the MPs which creates disruption in the proceedings of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. BJP and NDA leaders have made this allegation against Rahul Gandhi. In fact, in the winter session of Parliament starting from December 1, the opposition demanded a debate on Special Intensive Revision (SIR), but what was the method? Ruckus, walkout and stalling of proceedings. At the same time, political experts are reading the practical contradiction between the opposing parties in this brouhaha, where on one hand there is an excellent example of dialogue style and on the other hand there is a situation of lack of communication and the height of indecent conduct. The discussion on this strange contradiction of the opposition is coming to the fore when Tejashwi Yadav presented an example of dignified and dignified conduct in the Bihar Assembly as a true soldier of democratic politics.
Rahul Gandhi’s politics
Tejashwi Yadav’s address has deepened this question, while Rahul’s attitude is raising questions on the dignity of democracy. The indecent behavior of the opposition in the Parliament under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi and Congress is not desisting from continuous ruckus, walkouts and disrupting the proceedings. This comparison is not just of two leaders, but of the direction and condition of opposition politics. Experts say that it is important to raise the opposition’s questions, but turning questions into mere noise neither attracts voters nor can anti-people policies be stopped. It is important to raise voice in politics, but giving direction to the voice is even more important.
language of restraint amid pressure
Hurt by the election defeat, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav, speaking for the first time in the House after a long silence, showed restraint, logic and political maturity. When Tejashwi spoke after 17 days of silence, there was neither sarcasm, nor sarcasm, nor sarcasm. Instead there was respect in the language, political overtones in the words and democratic balance in the tone. He said- Opposition is not the enemy of the government, it is the balance of democracy. This was not just a statement – it was a strategic message that the opposition would play its role not just through noise but through facts, questions and institutional dialogue. This language of Tejashwi Yadav was not aggressive, but fair, confident, strong-willed and highly effective politically.
two pictures, two messages
The comparison of these two political behaviors shows that the opposition is not just a protest but is also responsible for democratic dialogue. Rahul Gandhi’s opposition politics is emotional, but unorganized. Tejashwi Yadav’s politics is balanced and institutional. While Rahul Gandhi’s style creates the image of a confrontation-based opposition, Tejashwi seems to be creating the role of an accountable opposition with his behavior. Politics is not just a fight for power… it is also a test of conduct, patience, dialogue and democratic commitment. Two different political behaviors in recent weeks have made this difference even more clear.
Resistance, but without direction?
The basic thing is that democracy becomes stronger when the government answers and the opposition puts the questions with order and dignity. If Rahul Gandhi converts his energy into debate, policy and strategy, the opposition can become stronger at the national level. At the same time, Tejashwi Yadav has shown that politics can be done with respect, dialogue and balance even while sitting in the opposition. The job of the opposition in a democracy is to ensure accountability of the government, not to spread anarchy. The future will tell that between Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi, which model will take the country’s democracy forward – noise or dialogue?
