Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Tell , Sell or Participate ?



DNA ( 28 Aug ) carries a report titled :




“ Simultaneous LS, State polls mooted “



Niti Aayog suggests switch to synchronized elections from 2024 to save costs


Last february , Prime Minister Narendra Modi had pitched for conducting simultaneous elections to the Lok Sabha and the State Assemblies


Acting on the suggestion, Niti Aayog came out with a draft report in April, which was circulated among the governing council members ( consisting Chief Ministers of all states among others )




Of course, neither PM nor Niti Aayog, is in a position to “ TELL “ the political parties :


“ I am telling you , this is what I have decided to implement “




I suppose , they are trying to “ SELL “ this idea to the Chief Ministers , by saying :

“ We want to implement this ( idea ) for reasons of  Saving Costs




I think they should go to the next step of managing , viz : PARTICIPATION :



By asking  :


“ Round the year elections are causing grave damage to our ECONOMY / GOVERNANCE


What do YOU suggest that we could  / should do , to come out of this predicament ? “



And , in order to bring subtle – but certain – pressure on all the political parties to reach a CONSENSUS , Niti Aayog may want to consider launching a mobile – based SURVEY of our 700 + MILLION voters ( as to what do they think of this idea ), as outlined in my following earlier blog ( sent as email to all concerned ) :


ONE  NATION ,  ONE  VOTE  ?   [  29  Nov  2016  ]






Getting  EVERYONE  onto the bandwagon , is the ONLY sure way of smooth implementation
