Last Window of Opportunity ?

I have a right to ,

>    change my mind

>    influence others to change their minds

>   even admit that I could have been wrong

Till yesterday , I supported Arvind Kejriwal that AAP should neither take nor give support to BJP / Congress , in order to form a government in Delhi

Then I remembered that Mahatma succeeded in throwing out British from India , by changing their mind-sets / their hearts

British left when they realized that,

>   Entire population of India rallied behind Mahatma

>   Mahatma's weapon was , " Love / Non-Violence / Self-purification "

Well-meaning leaders of BJP / Congress / AAP have the same opportunity once again , after some 66 years

This time , to throw out " Corruption / Criminalization of Politics "

How ?

>   They must come together and form ,

      "  ALLIANCE  FOR   POOR   PEOPLE  (  APP  )  "

>    In Delhi , share Ministerial  seats in following proportion,

       *  BJP.............5

       *  AAP  .........  4

       *  Congress....  1


No deal ! No horse-trading ! Just an equitable formula !

    Call it " Politics of Proportional Representation " , where all parties

     get one or more seat on the government , depending on the number

     of seats won . And no fear of ever-hanging sword of " No - Confidence " motion  !

    

     At some future date , this principle can be enlarged to all parties ( in

     proportion to the percentage of votes won ) , even if it fails to win a

     single seat  - the ultimate representation of people's will  !

After that , if you wish to " Oppose " , then do it from within the System

     No more " Opposing without Accountability "  ! 

>    From their respective Poll Manifestos , pick-up " Pro - Poor " agenda and

      create a "  COMMON  MINIMUM  PROMISE  (  CMP  ) ", comprising of ,

      #     From BJP Manifesto

          *  Make a special provision in primary education for students from

              rural , backward and disadvantaged groups

          *  Build tower blocks for slum-dwellers

          *  Reduce power tariff by 30 %

     #   From  AAP  Manifesto

     

      *   Install CCTV in rooms meant for registering FIR

           *   Run Courts in 2 shifts

           *   Build 200,000 public toilets

           *   Meet 20 % of city's electricity needs thru solar power in 10 years

           *   Expand Metro rail network

           *   Pass Jan Lokpal Bill

           *   Decentralize executive power

      #    From   Congress  Manifesto

           *   Provide easy loans for self-employment ventures

           *   Implement the third phase of Yamuna Action Plan

           *   Enhance generation capacity by 2600 megawatts

Mahatma's concept of " Satyagraha " to overcome evil forces , was an example " Out - of - Box " thinking

No one in the World believed that it could work

It is same with the concept of " Politics of Proportional Representation "

Experts and Pundits are bound to rubbish it  !

But Rahul Gandhi , Rajnath Singh and Arvind Kejriwal have this very small window of opportunity to throw out the burden of historical baggage

Their names will get prominence in India's Resurrection , if they grab it  !
