Earlier on Thursday, the Vice President called for a national debate on the shift from ‘democracy to ‘Democracy. “Emotion-driven policies, debates, and discourses threaten good governance. Historically, populism is bad economics. Once a leader gets attached to populism, it is difficult to get out of the crisis. The central factor must be the good of the people, the largest good of the people, and the lasting good of the people. Empower people to empower themselves rather than empower them momentarily because that affects their productivity,” he said.
At the first ‘Murli Deora Memorial Dialogues’ in Mumbai, he said, “There is another aspect on which we need to focus. National debate is required so that we take note of shift from democracy to emocracy. Emotion-driven policies, debates, and discourses threaten good governance. Historically, populism is bad economics, and once a leader gets attached to populism, it is difficult to get out of the crisis. Therefore, the central factor has to be the larger and lasting good of the people. Empower people to empower themselves rather than empower them momentarily because that affects their productivity.”
Further updates on his health are awaited.
