Dear Arvind ,
Congratulations to people of Delhi for reposing their
faith in AAP
It would have been nice if AAP were to form the
government
However , it will be much " nicer " that you will
sit in the Assembly as a " Responsible / Constructive " opposition !
And learn your first lessons in functioning of
parliamentary democracy
Remember , people of entire country will watch , how
you conduct yourself
Will you continue with ,
>
Mud-slinging / Gallies / Abuses
> Personal
attacks re: corruption
> Negativism
/ Sulking
> " Holier
- than - Thou " attitude
Or ,
Whether you will ,
> Be "
Positive rather than Negative "
> Be "
Pro-active rather than Re-active "
> Without
waiting for BJP to introduce , take the initiative to introduce
relevant
Bills in the Assembly in respect of following items of BJP's
Poll
Manifesto
EDUCATION
> Reserve 85
% seats in Delhi colleges for local students
WOMEN & CHILDREN
> Set-up
more fast track courts for speedy trial of women-related cases
LAW & ORDER
> Set up 24
hour help-line
SC / ST / MINORITIES
> Ensure
speedy justice in the 1984 riots
URBAN DEVELOPMENT
> Build tower
blocks for slum-dwellers
WATER
> Rationalize
water tariff
POWER
> Reduce
tariff by 30 %
TRANSPORT
> Introduce a
centralized traffic plan
JOBS
> Provide
easy loans for self employment
OTHERS
> Make
Lok-Ayukta, an effective institution with sufficient powers
By being FIRST to introduce these Bills , you will
prove to the people of India that,
" Role of
opposition is not confined to simply oppose whatever bills get introduced by
the Government in power , but take upon itself to introduce whatever bills it
considers vital for the welfare of the people who voted for them - and ALL the
other voters who DID NOT vote for them "
I believe your Lok Ayukta Bill is ready ( since you had
planned to pass it on 29th Dec )
So , how about introducing that as an " Opposition
Bill " as soon as Assembly gets convened ?
For a change , how about putting the ruling party on
its back - foot ?
By being " Offensive " , you will put the BJP
on the " Defensive " !
Then people will know how sincere is BJP with its poll
promises !
For long , you have been talking of a " different
kind of politics "
Now is your chance to convert your "
Hypothesis " into a " Theory " !
Remember ,
Whether people of India will vote for AAP or not in
2014 , will depend upon you performance as a Constructive Opposition , during
the next 6 months
