Blackmailing of Coalition Governments - Implications of Supreme Court Judgement in D. Sudhakar Case

If India will not switch over to Two National Political Party System, its democracy is in peril. The implications of D. Sudhakar Case Judgement of Supreme Court are clear.

A candidate who is Elected as Independent, can ditch coalition government ANY DAY. In Coalition Government, he may have been appointed a Minister in return for his support, but so what? He can ditch and break Coalition Government ANY DAY. He will incur no disqualification. He has nothing to fear.

This is what I can understand from the judgement.

The message is clear. Even if a national political party has to take Support of Only One Independent Candidate, that Independent Candidate will have power to sign death warrant of Ruling Government ANY DAY.

Too much power in one Independent Candidate.
