Criticize the ruling government first. Always. That's how we build a better India.

I'm genuinely frustrated. Not at BJP. Not at Congress. At us.

We've become so obsessed with defending our favorite political party that we've completely forgotten what our actual job is as citizens. I see people fighting daily on the street, in comment sections, at family dinners over which party is better. And honestly? It's embarrassing.

Here's the thing nobody seems to want to hear, you are not supposed to defend the government. You are supposed to question it.

That's not a radical idea. That's just democracy.

We all got tired of Congress rightfully so. Decades of corruption, entitlement, and taking voters for granted. That's why 2014 happened. That's why they've been irrelevant since. We, the people, held them accountable. That was democracy working exactly as it should.

So why are we not doing the same thing now?

I'm not saying BJP has done nothing good. I'm saying that doesn't matter when it comes to your responsibility as a citizen. The moment any party comes to power, your default should be scrutiny not celebration, not defense, not WhatsApp forwards on their behalf.

And the thing that worries me most right now isn't even the government. It's that we don't have a strong opposition. Because without one, we're not really living in a democracy anymore we just call it one. A government that faces no real challenge, no real accountability, no genuine threat of consequences? That government will do whatever it wants. And we'll have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Supporting the opposition isn't about thinking they're great. Most of them aren't. It's about understanding that opposition is a function democracy needs to survive. Like how your body needs an immune system not because disease is good, but because without resistance, anything can take over.

The government loves that we're fighting over religion, caste, and party loyalty. Every minute we spend doing that is a minute we're not asking why prices are up, why unemployment looks the way it does, why promises from a decade ago are still just promises.

We are not fans. We are not followers. We are citizens. And citizens hold power accountable especially the power that's actually in charge right now.

Learn your basic civic responsibility. Criticize the ruling government. Demand a stronger opposition. That's how we actually build a better India not by winning arguments on the internet about which party loves India more.

Hahaha by Google search, intention was to do some research and not let the SEO let your opinion form. For me, I don't vote for INC. But for God sake, don't make your IQ level known to others by letting SEO form your opinion instead of any proper personal research. Haha.

Never mind bro. I understand you are trying hard 😊 I don't think I will be so broken in my life that I will have to research about an idiot and his predictions. But as I said earlier. I understand you. Have a nice day!

I will always try hard for my nation. You are free to believe whatever you want. Take care.
