Voters’ Demands is THE
issue
Context :
Ø Citizen’s
Charter of Demand …………………. 29 Oct 2018
Extract :
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
My Take :
Is is now more than 5
YEARS since I sent the above blog ( as email ) to our Policy Makers . It is
heartening to note that some VOTER GROUPS have made a beginning in this direction,
as can be seen from the following news report :
Ahead
of polls, citizens' groups float campaigns to boost voter turnout …. 23
March 2024
Extract :
As Mumbai gears up for Lok Sabha elections on May 20, citizen's
groups are busy trying to boost voter turnout and craft a manifesto that can be
presented to victorious candidates.
From Soch Sayani group in Thakur village, Kandivali to the Govandi
Citizens' Welfare Group to V-Citizens Action Network (VCAN), various civil
society initiatives are collaborating with the Election Commission of India
(ECI) to register voters, install
pledge walls and organise camps and competitions among housing
societies...
Congratulations ,
Ø Govandi
Citizens' Welfare Group
Ø V-Citizens
Action Network (VCAN) / citizens@togethervcan.in
BUT ,
Please do NOT wait to
present your CHARTER of DEMANDS to the “ Victorious “ candidate .
As suggested in my
above-mentioned blog / email , present it BEFORE the election to all the
contesting candidates and get them to ACCEPT it in advance , in order to get
your votes
And, simultaneously , campaign
with all Political Parties to agree to enact a law for RE-CALL of an elected MP
, as described at :
