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?"

Election Commission Listened : Partially

 

 

Some 8 years ago, I sent following Email to the Election Commission :

Ø  Filtering Candidate Information ?...................    18  Sept 2016

 

Extract :

Would voters be enthused to come forward to vote , if

#  Latest info about ALL of those candidates was available at finger-tips on his Mobile ( authenticated by

    Election Commission ), eliminating hours of " searching " on the Net and hours of " filtering "

 

#  That info would comprise,

 

     *  Affidavit filed by the Candidates


     *  Police Record including cases filed / pending / disposed off , against the candidates


     *  Past political history ( no of political parties changed )


     *  Director-ship ( direct / indirect ) in private businesses and NPA of those businesses

 

     *  Results of open Surveys on " ROMP - RecallOur Member of Parliament "

        {  http://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2015/08/romp-panacea.html  }


     *  Whether the candidate has accepted to implement the " 
Charter of Demand " ( if elected ) , submitted

         and uploaded by the Voters of his Constituency on the web site of the Election Commission



#  He can vote directly from his Mobile , without having to go to a Polling Booth and spend 4 hours

#  He can take 5 minutes to cast his vote, sitting in his bedroom , without holding up other voters in the queue

#  He can vote at any time of the voting day and from any place on the earth !

#  And get to know the very next morning , who got elected

 

YES , of course !


And voter turn-out would be 
95 %  !


HOW  ?

By implementing , " VotesApp " 

{ http://myblogepage.blogspot.com/2012/12/votesapp.html }

( a Mobile App which , effectively shrinks a bulky, common , special purpose  Electronic Voting Machine - EVM - into a tiny, personally-owned , versatile Mobile )

{ http://www.hemenparekh.in/2013/08/votesapp.html#.V99_Kfl94ok }


ANY   BYE-PRODUCT   ?

Sure,

Central Government , can earn Rs 20,000 crores , by enabling 15 million Indian businesses to advertise to 850 million voters thru this mobile VotesApp , sharply targeting by Gender / Age / Marital Status / City / Street / Education / Income Tax paid / Employed or Jobless ....etc

       

Ø  Candidates / Spouses / Kids : Assets ?  …………………………….  16  Feb  2018

 

Extract :

“ Candidates Must Reveal Source of Spouse & Kids’ Assets Too : SC “

 

Dear Hon Supreme Court :

 

 

There is no need for  “ setting up a permanent mechanism to keep tabs on and probe the assets of law-makers and their immediate families “

 

 

All that is required is to add one more field in the Income Tax Form ( revised one introduced in 2016 ) , which says :

 

 

“ If either yourself or any member of your near family ( spouse / children / son-in-law / daughter-in-law ) have held any position in Parliament or State Legislature or Municipal Corporation , at any time during past 5 years , provide full details below :…………………. “

 

 

For 2016-17 assessment year, the tax department has unveiled new income tax return form

 

 

For persons with income above Rs 50 lakhs, it requires submission of following details ( with cost of each item ) :

 

 

*  All immovable assets ( such as land / buildings etc )

 

*  All movable assets ( such as Cash, Jewellery , Vehicles , Yachts etc )

 

*  All liabilities ( such as loans )

 

 

 

What made me think that Election Commission listened ?

I came across the following advt in today’s Hindustan Times :
