THE PENDULUM SWINGS FROM DICTATORIAL TO ‘TOO MUCH DEMOCRACY’

The switch from the BRS government to the Congress-led administration has been a bit like watching a pendulum swing wildly from one extreme to the other. From a regime that was accused of being dictatorial, we’ve now swung to one where democracy seems to be on steroids. Some bureaucrats are starting to feel the pinch, with one lamenting, “We’ve gone from too much dictatorship to too much democracy. Honestly, too much of anything isn’t good!” It turns out that when everyone gets a say, things slow down – considerably. The new government’s next challenge? Figuring out how to turn down the volume on all those voices so they can get something done!
