The Ideal Mandate?

Let’s start reforming the Electoral System by first putting up an Ideal Mandate. A Mandate that will be focused on making India a better place to live in.

1. Uniform Civil Code – Every citizen in the country must follow the same law. Special exceptions can be given to certain categories but that must not be generalised.

2. Stringent Punishment for Corruption – Stripping the guilty of all his assets, including those of his dependants and longer sentence in jail.

3. Faster implementation of e-Governance – Reduce the interaction between the Govt. Official & the Public. This will improve the delivery of services and reduce the need to bribe an official to do what he is supposed to do in normal course.

4. Speedier Trials at Courts. Bring in law to ensure undue delay is punishable for court officials & Judges. Improve Judicial Infrastructure.

5. Better facilities to the Uniformed Services - Armed Forces, Police, Paramilitary, etc. At the same time, punishment will be severe for any mis-use of power/authority

6. Environmental Protection - Ensure forest land is not encroached upon. Taxation structure to punish polluting industries. Stringent Implementation of Pollution laws.

7. Transperancy in Governance & Decision Making - enhance the RTI Act. Allow single point application submission & online application submission. Pro-active disclosures to be increased. Every project undertaken must have the details of the start date, end date, cost, agency responsible for monitoring, approving authority, project executing agency. Public opinion on quality of work must be gathered. Each agency/person involved will be liable for action in case of complaints from public

8. Reservation - Change the rules of Reservation. Wards of parents who have received reservation benefits will NOT BE ELIGIBLE for Reservation. This is to ensure all the people for whom reservation is given are benefited. Today the scenario is that only a small sub-segment of the SC/STs who have benefited from the reservation policy in earlier years continue to corner it. Vast majority of the SC/STs continue to be deprived of the benefits.

9. National ID Card - Move towards uniform identity to all Indians. Smart Card which can be used to store all details of the individual. Easy to carry, easy to modify.

10. Improve Election Process & Rules to increase accountability of the Elected Representatives – Contestants contesting from more than 1 constituency and subsequently resigning must reimburse the cost of elections in that constituency. Voting to be made easier for Armed Forces. Debar criminals from contesting elections.

11. Water will be national resource – Study and implement optimal way to utilise the huge but precacious water potential in India. Linking rivers, ponds to optimally store water for dry days.

12. National Security – Complete fencing along Bangaladesh Border at the earliest.  Educate & enable citizens living in border areas with better protection & livelihood to gave a first line of defence. Develop Naxal hit areas for alienating the naxals at grass-root.
