In Maharashtra the MVA Govt. is under great trouble. It is doubtful if the Govt can survive. Not only MVA, but many other Govts have fallen in past.

Lets analyze the structural reason behind these.

They keep cursing BJP out of frustration, but more the curse BJP become more popular.

Hence, it is important that all political parties should shun family politics, reward merit and practice internal democracy.
