Political economist Parakala Prabhakar on Sunday advocated the adoption of an electoral system of proportional representation for the Indian Republic, which is gearing up for its 76th year of Independence.
‘’The Indian democracy is experiencing a slow death. Our economy is in doldrums, thanks to weakening of the rupee. Secularism is in tatters as the country moves away from the cherished values enshrined in the Constitution preamble under the present dispensation at the Centre,” he observed while taking part in the centenary celebrations of CPI veteran G. Yelamanda Reddy’s birth, here on Sunday.
