What do you understand by accountable responsive legitimate govt |
| Answer» \tIn a democratic government, the working of the government machinery is transparent. It means a citizen can enquire if any decision was taken based on prescribed norms and procedures. Thus, a democratic government follows procedures and is\xa0accountable\xa0to the people.\tThe government is\xa0legitimate\xa0if it is elected by the citizens of the country in free and fair elections.\tA government is said to be\xa0responsive\xa0government when it responds to the demands of the public and considers it very much part of the government.\xa0For example, after a prolonged period of mass protest and negotiation, the UPA government had to finally agree to people’s demand and introduce the Lokpal Bill in the Parliament. Even though, there still remains certain glitches in its implementation, the very fact that the government was forced to act on people’s demand is testimony to its responsive credentials. | |
