It refers to unholy political drama once again erupted in Karnataka where again huge money is being spent on saving or uprooting state-government by taking MLAs in hiding in costly resorts far away from the state. Evidently such heavy spent of money for political games is to be recovered indirectly from public through bribes and corruption involving those seated at high posts of legislature. There must be a mechanism to permanently end such nuisance.
Chief Ministers should be elected by secret and compulsory votes of all MLAs through EVMs on nominations filed by at least 34-percent MLAs. Members not participating in such election may lose voting-right in state-assembly though retaining membership. Any such elected Chief Minister may only be removed by same process but with compulsion of naming alternate leader in the same motion. It will be simply a modified version of Supreme Court verdict in the matter UP government (Kalyan Singh) vs Jagdamba Pal where Chief Minister was elected through secret vote of MLAs for only time in history of India.
Such an elected Chief Minister will be compelled to have cordial relations with opposition in running the House-proceedings, and also tackling factionalism in ruling parties apart from ensuring full terms and stable governments.
