In India it has taken ages for the UPA Government to be finally in place after days of hard bargaining for the juicy ministerial positions. In the meanwhile, there was no one responsible during this transition period when India faced large-scale religious violence in Punjab and natural disaster in West Bengal due to cyclone Aila , major issues that required focused, constant attention. Our current system of changeover of government needs to be changed so that the country is always in responsible and safe hands.
In my opinion everything need not come to a standstill in the transition period, the caretaker prime minister should be assisted by a national transition team drawn out of eminent personnel from all fields and have all the powers and responsibility to take care of any eventuality. This team needs to be in place as soon as the elections are announced and continue till the incoming team is installed
The national transition team can be pre selected by the Chief Justice of Supreme Court in consultation with the prime minister and the leaders of opposition
