In past few years , our Lok Sabha has been repeatedly
paralyzed by slogan shouting MPs
Perhaps , the past two weeks were the worst in the
history of Lok Sabha , with no business conducted
Someone suggested that MPs be made to lose their
salaries for this period , following the universally / legally accepted rule :
No Work , No Pay
This won't work . Our crore-pati MPs could not care a
hoot for loss of pay !
Only thing that might work :
A mobile app called , " ROMP
/ Recall Our MP " ( Idea for a Start-Up ? )
Only voters who qualify as follows , will be permitted
to use this App , in order to recall an MP :
* He must be on
Electoral Roll
* He must have
actually voted ( even if NOTA ) , in the last general election
{ This
criteria is bound to boost voting percentage to 95 % ! No need to
make voting
compulsory ! }
* He can "
Vote to Recall " , only MP who got elected from the constituency
from where he
cast his vote in last election
* He can vote
only if there is no Criminal charges filed against him
* The App itself
will accept his " Rating / Vote " only on two days of the year
announced by the Election Commission for each
constituency
* Any other
criteria that readers may wish to suggest ( crowd-sourcing )
ROMP will show following criteria , with
" YES " or " NO " buttons against each :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOG-IN :
# Suspend MP
for next Session................................ YES.......NO
# Recall
MP.............................................................YES ..... NO
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Justify your recommendation by " Rating "
your MP , below
( Unless rated on each criteria , your vote will be
invalid )
Is this MP ( who is being rated by you ) :
#
Honest.............................................. YES........NO
# Of high
Integrity................................. YES........ NO
#
Sincere.............................................. YES........ NO
#
Hard-working .................................... YES........ NO
#
Punctual.............................................. YES....... NO
#
Dignified............................................ YES........
NO
# Follows
Speaker's Orders.....................
YES........ NO
# Good
Listener.......................................
YES......... NO
# Awaits his
turn to speak.......................... YES........ NO
# Asks only
relevant questions.................. YES........
NO
#
Approachable to Voters.......................... YES....... NO
# Answers
Voters' Emails promptly...............
YES...... NO
# Provides
regular feedback to Voters ............. YES.......NO
# Addresses
other MPs with respect...............
YES..........NO
SUBMIT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conditions governing use of ROMP :
> It can be
downloaded from the web site of Election Commission , upon
filling up a
form, requiring all kinds of proof that you are a genuine voter
> Upon being
satisfied ( that you are a genuine voter ) , the Server will
issue a User
ID and Password, to log in before you can use the App.
It would be
better still , if biometric identification is integrated with the
App , since
AADHAR cards are already having such identification
> ROMP
can be downloaded only once
> At least 66
% of the Voters who had actually voted in that Constituency
during the
last General Election , should take part in ROMP
event for it
to be
considered valid
> Only in
case more than 2/3rd ( > 66 % ) of " Ratings " cast recommend
Suspension or
Recall , will the Election Commission / Speaker act
according to
People's Mandate
> However ,
in case where those 66 % are divided between " Recall " and
"
Suspend " , then " Suspend " will prevail
> Rating
results will be made public on Election Commission web site on the
next day and
also published in leading Newspapers
I do believe that the present NDA government is keen to
introduce / pass ,
"
RIGHT TO RECALL
BILL " in Lok Sabha as part
of Electoral Reforms
Except that the combined opposition may defeat it in
Rajya Sabha !
Which MP would want to sign his own death-warrant ?
But even without a legal backing , I feel ROMP
would have a salutary effect
on the behavior of our MPs , who would know that they
are being watched,
and their conduct is being evaluated ! - and will be made
public !
ROMP , along with my earlier suggested
mobile Apps ,
( look up hemenparekh .... in )
> VotesApp
> I SIN><U SIN ,
will take us many steps closer to a Digital India
If you endorse my views , please forward to all Policy
Makers
If not , please do come up with a better idea !
