IDN TAKE: TIME FOR INDIA TO SEVER DIPLOMATIC TIES WITH PAKISTAN

[Jackdaws]

Can Modi call an election at any time within the 5 years if he is popular?

I stand corrected. If an elected Government wants, it can resign from all its seats, dissolve the lower house of Parliament and hold fresh elections at any point in its tenure. It has never happened in India.

This is what I thought do as the British system allow that.

In India, the ruling party should do that if it's very popular.

It can happen but Modi wont do it. He has been elected till 2019. He will complete his term and then be elected till 2024.

This will cause immense heartburn among Indian "liberals", Pakistanis and Chinese and this is a source of great satisfaction to us

Modi got 282 seats when he needed 272 to get a simple majority. While this is indeed remarkable given that last time there was a simple majority was 1984 - there is no guarantee that it will happen again even if elections are carried out today. He was extremely popular then just as he is now - the majority margin itself is wafer-thin. Personally, I feel he will not get a simple majority in 2019 - but will get over 200 seats so will form a Government with his allies through the NDA.

Also if he calls an election without any catalyst as big as Brexit - he could be challenged in court. The opposition could refuse to resign from their seats and the Election Commission on Court orders could only conduct bye-elections in vacated seats. I doubt Modi's state allies would be happy either.

Well done Pakistan army ..

This whole article shows , kitni band baj chuki hai india ki

Hang him...

Excellent Idea
no more talks on Indus water treaty and no more Kashmir talks we can do what we want if any one asks we say we don't have diplomatic ties with them .

Infact India should stop recognizing Pakistan and Pakistan can stop recognizing India so no more Kashmir talks and IWT
Come on Modi do it. Declare Pakistan's High commissioner persona non grata and ask him to please leave New Delhi.
Pakistan can do the same too.
