Union Home Minister Amit Shah, whose party secured a thumping majority in this year's Lok Sabha election, stirred controversy today, remarking that 70 years after Independence, people are wondering if multi-party democracy has "failed". The makers of the constitution, he said, had envisaged an "equal, prosperous India". They had adopted the multi-party democratic system after studying various democracies across the world so that all sections can have representation.
