Recently , Shri Chidambaram held a public meeting in
Bandra to get suggestions for framing of 2019 Election manifesto of Congress
Hindustan Times ( 28 Oct ) reported as follows :
“ Cong to draft manifesto using people’s feedback “
Participants submitted following suggestions :
·
Water Scarcity
·
Infrastructure
·
Solid Waste Management
·
Land Mafia
·
Increasing prices of houses in the city
·
Need for 50
% reservation for women in politics
·
Upgrading education standards
·
Encouraging secular atmosphere
Shri Chidambaram added :
“ Congress does not want to sit in a room and announce
generation of two crore jobs and assure
crediting Rs 15 lakhs in the accounts of each Indian.
We want to know what people
want from the government and hence we have undertaken the exercise of
interacting with people before preparing our manifesto for the 2019 lok Sabha
elections “
May be
Shri Chidambaram remembered that in its manifesto released on 24 March 2014 , Congress
has promised to create 10 Crore ( = 100 million
) new jobs in next 5 years , if voted to power !
He may be
even thanking God that Congress failed to win a majority !
But no
such problem with the 8 items listed above , since these are in the nature of,
“ Motherhood is Good “
No
quantitative / measurable targets to be achieved by xyz dates !
It is “
your word against my word “ !
So
nebulous that other political parties may even decide , not to repeat this
exercise but simply “ adopt “ whatever list Congress finally comes up with !
Or just
change the date and re-publish their 2014 election manifestos !
The
shrewd politicians know that public memory is short and that voters have , all
but forgotten those 2014 promises !
Dear Voters ,
For
letting the politicians take us for a ride , we have no one to blame but
ourselves !
We have
miserably failed in coming up with a citizen’s
“ CHARTER OF
DEMAND “, which :
·
Lists our
demands
·
Groups
these into,
#
Urgent but not Important
#
Important but not Urgent
#
Both , Urgent as well as Important
·
Devise /
launch a Mobile App to solicit citizen’s response to the above , with PRIORITY
RATING for each listed item ( 1 = Low / 2 = Medium
/ 3 = High )
·
Then arrange
in descending order of priorities
·
For each
item , lays down “ Quantified / Measurable “ targets , with target dates
·
Send this
CHARTER of DEMAND to each political party , insisting that the Party comes out
with a public statement , accepting to implement the Charter ( if voted to
power , of course ) and also publish this on its web site
Charter will begin with following
“ Declaration of Intent “ :
“
We the people of India , submit the following Charter
of Demands to the political
parties contesting 2019 General Election and
ask them to accept the same for
implementing , if voted to power
We will not vote for
those parties which refuse to accept this charter
However , if several parties accept this Charter , citizens will vote
for those parties
and their candidates , who will
begin their every Election Rally Speech with re-
affirmation of its acceptance
Once a party has accepted the Charter prior to the election , it will
need to publicly
confirm its support to its implementation ,
even if it fails to form the government
and sits in the opposition. “
·
Using the
same Mobile App, every quarter , compile citizen feedback on their perception
of “ Actual Achievement %age as against Target “ and provide this FEEDBACK of
People’s perception , to the government
If you
want to know how the gullible citizens of India have been taken for a ride over
the years and what items might be considered for inclusion in that Mobile App,
please refer to :
