Giving legal status to Election Manifestos
Political parties usually make gimmickry promises in their manifestos, which at times are rather unpractical too. Election manifestos should be given some legal validity. EC should de-recognise political parties failing to fulfil poll-promises.
IT REFERS to interesting promise in joint election-manifesto issued by BJP-Shiv Sena for forthcoming elections to Maharashtra state assembly about formation of a new ministry, which will monitor fulfilling promises made in the election-manifesto.
 
Political parties usually make gimmickry promises in their manifestos, which at times are rather unpractical too. Also post-poll alliances do not allow poll-promises of allying partners to be fulfilled which are totally in contrast, like was there in case of Ram-temple at Ayodhya where BJP’s other allies in NDA differed with BJP. Unfortunately, present is an era of alliance politics and every political party finds an easy excuse of not reaching consensus amongst allied partners to fulfil promises.
 
Election manifestos should be given some legal validity. Election Commission should de-recognise political parties failing to fulfil poll-promises highlighted in their election-manifestoes after coming to power. Political parties should clear their position before the voters ahead of polls by having two types of poll-manifestoes, one if the party succeeds to form government at its own and the other if it has to form a government in alliance with other political parties.
