In order to trounce the very frequent party hopping of most politicians, SC has taken an historic move of auctioning the politicians for various political parties through a bidding system. “Recurrent opportunistic party hopping by politicians is an insult to the constitution and is unacceptable.To provide a stable governance and avoid unnecessary bypolls, this new law is being brought into place”, says the judgement. “ The bidding and auction procedure will follow the IPL auction process and will happen once in five years, before the general election. Party presidents and High-Commission members of various political parties would bid for their candidates just like team owners bidding for the players in the IPL Auction. Each party will be given the right to retain a maximum 10% of their candidates provided the candidate consents to stay back and others will be set a base price and offered for the auction. Those who get sold will lose their rights to jump into another party till the next bidding.This not only avoids expensive by-elections, but also compels for higher efficiency and social service index of the candidates.”, the chief justice panel headed by K.B.Narasimhan justified. “The rights and responsibility of promptly and transparently conducting this is awarded to the Election Commission”,it added.
In the wake of this rule, the political parties have already started drawing dexterous strategies that would help them win precious candidates and bag maximum seats in the elections. BJP High-commission clarified they won’t compromise in retaining Modi and Varun, but said will not retain Karnataka’s tainted winning horse CM Yeddyurappa anyway.Advani also mentioned of bidding Nitish Kumar who’s been in tremendous form of late, but its yet to see if Nitish makes himself available for the bid.
Congress High Command(read Soniaji), on the other hand, spelled out clearly about retaining Rahul and Chidambaram at any cost both of whom are supposed be hard hitting strikers , but indirectly referred that the fate of Manmohan Singh , Kapil Sibal and many more controversy hit politicos are at stake. BJP, in reply to this cited that if at all our current PM becomes available for the bid,he would have a negative base price owing to 2G scandal and CWG fuss which are the opposition’s dearest weapons at present. But in a surprising move, Karunanidhi stood by A.Raja as he clarified that Raja will stay with DMK, in spite of his scam hit career.
Other than these, RJD and LJP are expected to bid for some star players from Congress and BJP to boost their seat-count to atleast reach a double-figure. CPI(M) Polit Bureau spokesman in an interview to ShekeTimes said of bidding for some high-profile Samajwadi and BSP players who are currently upset with the dictatorship system that those parties have.Some retired players like Shivraj Patil, Bangarappa and others will also be available for the bid with a low base price.
