RIGHT TO RECALL ?

5 Sep 2011

RIGHT  TO  RECALL  ?

Sure , voters must have right to recall their representative [ MP / MLA / Corporator etc ], if that representative ,

• has utterly failed in performing his duties

• has absented in most of the sessions without valid reason

• is suffering from a debilitating illness

• has engaged in corrupt practices

• has a police case [ of serious charges ] filed against him

• has amassed wealth disproportionate to his known sources of income

• is found to practice nepotism / favoritism

• fails to give a written reply to any complaint or refuses to meet a voter from his constituency

• has engaged in malpractices in order to get elected

• has violated electoral “ Code of Conduct “

I am sure, readers would like to expand this list.

Irrespective of one or more of these wrong-doings, how can we let people suffer in silence for 5 years ?

With regards
