Manifesto Mania [ # 1 ]




It is manifesto season , once again


Political parties ( led by BJP and Congress ) are out to woo the voters


They are asking citizens to send in their suggestions for things that the parties would promise to implement , “ if they get voted to power for the next 5 years “ – ( but promise to oppose if they fail to come to power ? )


They want our suggestions for framing their ELECTION MANIFESTOS



This raises following questions :


·         Why do suggestions get invited only a few months before the elections ?

·         Why are the parties unwilling to acknowledge suggestions received at other times ?


·         How many suggestions ( sent now ) will get acknowledged / get incorporated in manifestos ?

·         Why do citizens wait for this “once – in - 5 - years“  invitation to send suggestions  ?


·         Do citizens track the  “ implementation “ of their suggestions throughout years ?



Even though I have no answers to these questions , I decided that I will keep sending my suggestions to the “ Party in Power “ , all throughout the years


Without waiting for any invitation or even hoping for an acknowledgement !


And , I will track their implementation ( even if partial or in progress ) , from reports in News Papers



That attitude made me list some 26 of my suggestions under implementation , at :






But there are many more ( sent to our Cabinet Ministers – NITI Aayog , as e mails ), whose fate I don’t know and about which I will continue to shout ( politely ), till I am heard !



Following are a few – but very important ones :


=========================================================

Dear Shri Rajnath Singhji,



I believe you head the BJP committee entrusted with framing the election manifesto of BJP


I urge you to consider my above-mentioned suggestions for inclusion in that


There are many others which too , I can search out from my past emails to the Cabinet Ministers , and send if I get your acknowledgement  !
