Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
I have said several times that this government has suffered from leadership crisis from day one. As long as the going was good, everything was hunky-dory. The moment we started facing challenges, we realized that this government had no power to take decisions and was floundering on all fronts. Bipartisanship is a very desirable objective in any democracy because in a democracy, while governments are formed on the basis of numbers, they function on the basis of consensus. But the responsibility for building that consensus rests squarely on the shoulders of the government of the day.The government should reach out to build that consensus. Why only on economic issue even on other issues this government did not build any consensus. On the nuclear deal, the BJP and left were opposing it, and other elements in the political spectrum too. but the government went ahead with it. So, consensus building cannot be cherry-picking, that I want to build consensus and so you fall in line.
