In many countries, people vote for their leaders, and recent elections show that voters are unhappy with their governments.
In Germany, no single party won enough votes to rule alone, so different parties must now work together. A far-right party, AfD, got a lot more votes than before but won’t be part of the government. Why? Because many Germans feel their economy isn’t doing well. Prices are high, and even though most people have jobs, they don’t feel richer.
In Britain, then Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called an early election because the economy had improved a little. But voters still felt that prices were too high and loans were expensive. Many thought the economy was in bad shape, so Sunak may lose.
In the United States, people removed Democrats from power in some places because they felt worse off financially than during Donald Trump’s time as president, even though inflation (rising prices) had slowed down.
Even in China, where elections don’t happen like in democratic countries, the government is worried. Fewer people feel their lives are better than five years ago, so China is trying to boost its economy.
What about India?
Indian leaders should also listen to the people. Right now, many politicians give away free things (like cash and discounts) to win votes. But this can’t last forever. For example, in Maharashtra, giving women and senior citizens cheaper bus tickets costs ₹3 crore every day!
Instead of short-term gifts, leaders should focus on making the economy grow fast and creating more jobs. That’s the only way people will feel truly secure about their future.
