1.21 How can YOU
help in bringing TCP law-draft in India?
The
eminent intellectuals of India have claimed that problems such as
(a)MNC-owners’ domination in politics (b)poverty (c)corruption in police
(d)corruption/nepotism in judges (e)corruption in education (f)Bangladeshi infiltration
etc are so difficult problems, that it would take at decades of Herculean
efforts to reduce these problems. The eminent intellectuals of India
have categorically said that no six-month solution exists to any one of these
problems. And here comes Rahul Chimanbhai Mehta (myself), and boldly claims that a mere three
line proposed Gazette Notification - can reduce MNC domination, poverty,
corruption, nepotism, Bangladeshi problem etc and that too all within mere 4
months !!!
I
call this proposed Gazette Notification as Transparent Complain Filing
Procedure aka TCP for short. And I further boast that the proposed
TCP-GN-draft (GN = Gazette Notification = order issued by Ministers) has no
negative side effects ; and the proposed TCP-GN-draft
is 100% Constitutional; and it is in synch with all the existing laws. And it
doesn’t need a legislation from MPs\MLAs – a Gazette Notification will suffice
as proposed TCP-GN-draft already come under existing powers of PM, CM etc. So
now can such a short GN draft so powerful even exist? Most eminent
intellectuals of India have refused to accept that such a trivial short
law-draft can reduce poverty, corruption etc even by 1%. Either these eminent intellectuals
are all wrong or I am a 200% liar and also a 400% insane joker. You, the
reader, can decide, whether the eminent intellectuals are wrong or I am
a liar-cum-joker, before or after you decide to read this chapter and next 3
chapters, and have read the eminent intellectuals’ rebuttals against my
proposed TCP Gazette Notification draft. And I will add more to my claim - the 3 line TCP Gazette Notification that I
have proposed will do lot more than reducing poverty and corruption in
police\courts\education. Within 4-8 months, TCP-GN will improve Military,
ration card system, improve ALL depts in Govt and will also bring down home prices !! And proposed TCP has no negative side effect. If
these claims ever turn out to be true, it would be an extremely shameful event
for each and every eminent intellectual of India.
So
finally, what is this three line proposed TCP GN, and how can this TCP GN do
these tasks and that too within mere 4-8 months?
And
one more question comes : how do I propose to mobilize
activists and citizens to “convince” PM
to print TCP draft in the Gazette? On this, I make a much taller claim. If as
few as 200,000 anti-corruption pro-poor anti-MNC
anti-Bangladeshi activists in India send 5-10 necessary orders a week to PM via
SMS and spend 4 hours a week on the list of 20-40 tiny actions I
have mentioned in chap-13, then in less than six months, their actions will
create a non-violent Ahmisamurti Mahatma Udham Singh centric
mass-movement that will “convince” PM to print TCP-draft in the Gazette.
Mahatma Udham Singh is central to RRP campaign, and is explained in detail in
section-13.16. So the number of activist-hours needed as per my suggested list
of activities is less than 2% of what most activist-leader demand.
Activists should sending
orders to PM, CM, MP, MLA, judges via SMS\emails
1. Sample orders to MP
via SMS : (1) I, a citizen of
India, am ordering you to send me cell number of PM so that I can send orders
to PM via SMS (2) I, a citizen of India, am ordering you to ask put all SMS you
get from me to put on your website with by name and my cell number. My name is
_______ and you may verify from the cell phone company (3) I am ordering you
order PM to take Afzal’s narco-test in public and then dispose Afzal’s petition
in 7 days (4)etc etc
2. Sample orders to MLA
via SMS : (1) I a citizen of
India is ordering you to send me cell number of CM so that I can send orders to
CM via SMS (2) I a citizen of India is ordering you to ask put all SMS you get
from me to put on your website with by name and cell number. My name is _______
and you may verify from the cell phone company (3) etc etc
3. Sample orders to PM
via SMS : (1) I a citizen of
India am ordering you create a system whereby affidavits we submit at
collector’s office come on your website, and we citizens can register YES on it
via SMS, ATM or other means (2) I a citizen of India am ordering you to ask put
all SMS you get from me to put on your website with by name and cell number. My
name is _______ and you may verify from the cell phone company (3) I am
ordering you that my Yes\No sent via SMS on any bill presented in the
Parliament should be posted on the website of Parliament. (4) I am ordering you
take Afzal’s narco-test in public and dispose Afzal’s petition in 7 days (5)etc etc
4. Sample orders to CM
via SMS : (1) I a citizen of
India am ordering you create a system whereby affidavits we submit at
collector’s office come on your website, and we citizens can register YES on it
via SMS, ATM or other means (2) I a citizen of India am ordering you to ask put
all SMS you get from me to put on your website with by name and cell number. My
name is _______ and you may verify from the cell phone company (3) I am
ordering you that my Yes\No sent via SMS on any bill presented in Assembly
should be posted on the website of Assembly (4)etc etc
5. Citizens’ sending
orders to Supreme\High judges : The eminent
intellectuals want us to have slave mentality and so they insist that we
citizens must not send orders to Supreme judges, High judges via SMS. Well, in
USA, citizens elect and have procedure to expel district\state judges !!! Thus citizens are above judges, and so we
citizens have rights to send orders to judges via SMS. I support the proposal
that activists should send necessary orders to Supreme judges via SMS.
If 100,000 activists develop habit
of sending necessary orders to PM\CM via SMS, the problems like corruption in
courts\police, poverty etc will end in 4 months. And within 5 years, India’s
local manufacturing will be at least as good as 25% of USA, within 1 year over
95% Bangladeshies will be forced to flee, over 99% cases will get disposed in
less than 4 weeks and over 95% citizens will cite courts and police as
non-corrupt and fair. It is necessary that activists directly send orders to
PM\CM via SMS etc and not waste their time and energy in slogan shouting,
rallying, daily prayers, singing patriotic songs again and again, candle
burning, election campaigning to elect demi-Gods etc. The activist leaders such
as Sonia Gandhi, Advani, Yechuri, Mayawati, Anna and Arvind Gandhi oppose the
proposal activists should directly send orders to PM\CM via SMS. They insist on
time and energy wasting activities only.
The PM, CM etc can develop a system
where their cell is connected to computers and SMS directly go into computer.
An PM can create short code to save time of his staff. Eg PM can create short
codes such as “Code HangAfzal YES” and “Code HangAfzal NO”, and that will save time of his
staff. Sending SMS is 10 times cheaper
than sending postcards or making phone calls and it is 1000 times cheaper for
receiver like PM, because using short codes, he can have totals within minutes without manual
intervention. Also, activities like candle burning and slogan shouting leave no
record. Whereas SMS remain recorded in phone companies
database of months, and PM can be ordered to setup a system which will keep
record for years and publish it. All in all, sending orders to PM via SMS is
far more efficient than slogan shouting, rallying, candle burning etc. The
activist leaders such as Anna and Arvind Gandhi prefer candle burning, fasting,
rallying and slogan shouting because these activities give them focus, at the
cost of real activism. Their goal is to drain energy out of activists – not
truly empower activists.
One
of the most important goal of my RTR Movement is to explain all activists and
all citizens of India (1)what is Gazette Notification
and (2)how easy but important it is to print a page in Gazette and thus bring
change in Govt. (3)how activists by sending orders to PM via SMS can raise
Udham Singh centric mass-movement, and can “convince” PM to print TCP,
RTR-PM-via-SMS and other necessary drafts in the Gazette.
Once
activists and citizens have information on Gazette Notification printing
process, they will see that changing system is as easy as sending SMS.
Gazette
Notification aka GN aka Rajpatra is a booklet published by Ministers of
Central Govt and Ministers of State Govts every month or whenever needed. The
Gazette will have orders issued by Ministers and also orders issued by Dept
Secretaries to implement orders issued by Ministers. The Gazette contains
orders given by Ministers to Dept Secretaries, District Collectors etc. Below
are two pages of a Gazette Notification shown as a sample example.
The
Collectors etc will do as per what Ministers have written in the Gazette and
not what Ministers say in press or public. Eg say Minister says in public,
press and also in party manifesto that “every family will get 20 liters of
kerosene”. But in the Gazette, say the Minister prints “10 liters of kerosene”.
Then the Collector will give only 10 liters. Because the Collector has to go by
what Ministers print in the Gazette and not by press statements Ministers have
made. If he disobeys Gazette, he may lose his job, may lose pension and may
also face prison.
If
you see the Government as a computer, then the Gazette is the executable code
on which it works. If you see Govt officers as construction workers,
then Gazette is the construction’s blue print.
So
if activists want any change in Govt officer’s activities, they must first ask
Ministers to print the proposed drafts in next month’s Gazette Notification.
And the activists need not do anything else but demand to print a page in the
Gazette. When the proposed drafts come in Gazette, then and then only changes
in Govt officers will come. If an activist-leader is talking about bringing
change in Govt without detailing Gazette Notification drafts needed, he is only
wasting away citizens’ time and he may be doing so deliberately. So I request
all activists to focus on the Gazette Notification drafts for the changes
activist-leaders demands. Most activists
leaders insist that their junior activists must not talk or know about Gazette
Notifications needed to bring the change they demand. These activist leaders’
aim is to waste away time of junior activists.
Sadly,
very few junior activists in India know importance of these print-outs named
as Gazette Notifications. And one goal of mine is to ensure that maximal
number of activists understand importance of GN. The goal goes against motives of
activist-leaders and eminent intellectuals. The activist-leaders and eminent
want junior activists to know least about GN and its importance.

[To
all Citizens, Officers, Ministers …] |
(3.1) This TCP GN is
not a referendum procedure. The Yes-No count will not be a binding on PM,
CMs, officers, judges etc. If over 37 crore women voters, dalit voters,
senior citizen voters, poor voters, farmer voters or ANY 37 crore
citizen-voters register Yes on a given affidavit, then the PM may or need
not take necessary action on the affidavit ; may
print it in Gazette or the PM may or need not resign. PM’s decision
will be final. (3.2) Further, the
Collector may design and propose a system to collect Yes-No in clause-2 over
SMS, and implement after approval of PM. |
I
summarize the TCP law-draft as
o
If
a citizen wants, then by visiting DC’s office, he can put an affidavit on PM’s website.
o
If
a citizen supports an affidavit filed, then by visiting Talati’s (Patwari etc) office,
that citizen can register his support to that affidavit on PM’s website for a
Rs 3/- fee or via SMS/ATM
This
3 line proposed TCP law-draft can reduce poverty and corruption in 4 months !
Text version of the
proposed TCP Gazette Notification drafts
Many
activists etc have to post the draft on web, and the above tabular write-up is
inconvenient. So here is text write-up for them.
The draft of proposed
Transparent Complaint Filing Gazette Notification
1. [order to
Collector (or his clerk)] The President hereby orders Collector that : if a
woman voter or dalit voter or senior citizen voter or poor voter or farmer

designated clerk will issue a serial number and put that affidavit on the
website of the Prime Minister for a fee
of Rs 20 per page.
2. [order to Talati,
Patwari, Village Officer(or his clerk)] The President
orders Patwari that :
(2.1) if a woman
voter or a dalit voter or a senior citizen voter or a poor voter or a farmer
voter or ANY citizen-voter comes with voter ID, and specifies Yes-No on an RTI
application, complaint or any affidavit submitted in cluase-1, the Patwari will
enter his Yes-No on the PM’s website with his voter-ID and give a printed
receipt for Rs 3 fee.
(2.2) The Patwari

3. [note to all
Citizens, Officers, Ministers, judges]
(3.1) This TCP Gazette
Notification is not a referendum procedure. The Yes-No count will not be a
binding on PM, CMs, officers, judges etc. If over 37 crore women voters, dalit
voters, senior citizen voters, poor voters, farmer voters or ANY 37 crore
citizen-voters register Yes on a given affidavit, then the PM may or need not
take necessary action on the RTI application affidavit ;
or the PM may or need not resign. PM’s decision will be final.
(3.2) Further, the
Collector may design and propose a system to collect Yes-No in clause-2 over
secured SMS, and implement that system after approval of PM.
Question-1 : Do all citizens have
internet to use this proposed TCP GN?
Answer : This is the most common wrong question I get
on proposed TCP-GN. I call it wrong question, because the proposed GN does not
at all require the citizens to have an internet connection to begin with.
Whether the citizen has internet or not, he must visit the Collector’s office
in person to submit his complaint or RTI application. And whether he has
internet or not, he must visit Talati’s (Lekhpal, Patwari, Village Officer, VO)
office in person to register YES on a complaint or affidavit. So internet is
not at all required for a citizen to use this law-draft. And even if a person
has internet, it would make no difference. So the law-draft can be used by all
citizen-voters of India. If he has internet connection, he can read the
affidavits with ease. But then so can someone without internet --- he only
needs to ask someone who has internet connection.
Question-2 : Wont elitemen
purchase the votes?
Answer : Pls glance at clause-2.1. The clause-2.1 of proposed
Gazette Notification TCP says that any citizen can register YES/NO and it will
come on PM’s website and SMS. Now can an elitemen shell out Rs 100 cr and ask 1
cr citizens to register YES? Well, please also glance at clause-2.2. The
citizen can change his YES/NO any day. So if an eliteman pays Rs 100 to crores of
citizens to file YES , then the next day, nothing
stops the citizens from asking for Rs 100 again and Rs 100 next to next day
again, or threaten to change YES to NO. Now no eliteman can control crores
citizens for even a week even with full army. If elitemen decide to pay Rs 100
every day to crores of citizens, they will run out of money. IOW, clause-2.2
ensures that approvals are unaffordable in TCP-GN.
Question-3 : What is the cost of
TCP?
Answer : There are two parts – cost borne by private individuals
and cost borne by the Government. Eg at the time voting in general elections,
some cost is borne by candidates, some by the voter (eg expense to travel from
home to booth to home) and some by Govt. As per election commission, the voting
expense is about Rs 20 per voter, on an average. In TCP, the expense on Govt is
zero, as the person pays Rs 3 fees to register his YES/NO. On one day, a clerk
can register YES/NO of over 250 citizens, which will create collection of Rs
750 which is more than enough that pay his salary and all other expenses. So if
all 75 crore voters register YES/NO by visit office of Talati, then costs
citizens will need to bear will be Rs 225 crores. And when the system comes on
SMS and ATM, the cost per YES/NO citizen has to pay reduces to few paise. So
even if 75 crore citizens were to file YES using ATM or SMS, the costs will be
below few crore rupees only. The cost on Govt is zero because citizen has to
pay a small fee to file Yes/No.
Question-4 : why did I put words ‘may or need not’ and not use
words such as ‘will’ or ‘shall’ or ‘must’ in clause-3 of proposed TCP-GN-draft?
Answers :
1.
Now
as seen clearly, I have put words ‘may or need not’. And there is no hiding
here. The words are in bold and there is later statement which makes it further
clear ‘PM’s decision will be final’. Now if anyone proposes a new draft with
word ‘must’ instead of ‘may or need not’ I will fully support it, but I will
not spend time in defending constitutional validity of ‘must’. For that matter,
the original draft I had proposed in 2002 had the word ‘shall’. And too much
time got wasted away in debating against those who said that “TCP was
unconstitutional, because Constitution doesn’t allow PM to sign a notification
makes citizens’ dictat a binding on him” !!
2.
Say
TCP-GN with word ‘shall’ is printed today, and say a proposal is filed and 40
crore citizens register YES on it. And say PM decides not to work on proposal.
Then no law stops PM from canceling TCP next day. So all in word, ‘shall’ does
not give extra insurance over the word ‘may or need not’.
3.
And
finally, the power of TCP does not increase even by 1% by converting ‘may’ into
‘shall’. If 40 crores out of 75 crore adult voters have registered YES and if
PM refuses to address the proposal given under clause-1, then we are now
talking about “People vs PM” case. And when we are talking of cases of “People
vs PM” , the words in clauses don’t matter any way ---
it is only raw strength of force which matter. In such case, saying that PM
will openly defy explicit opinion of 40 crore citizen shows gross
over-estimation of PM’s basic strength and gross-underestimation citizens’
strength. If PM defies 40 crore citizens openly, then citizens will not sit
idle, and even if 400 citizens decide to become Ahmisamurti, PM will leave
India. So fear that “what if PM will disobey 40 crore citizens is unfounded. If
PM is powerful, then MPs can ban the elections and become permanent MPs
themselves. And that may happen, when citizens become very weak, and elite
becomes too string. But thankfully, that is not the case today. Today, PM and
MPs are not strong enough to defy 40 crore citizens.
4.
So
all in all, using the word ‘may’ does not reduce strength of the law by even
1%. And using word ‘shall’ will an opportunity to those who hate TCP to create
a time-pass debate on constitutional invalidity. Putting word “shall” gives
excuse to PM to delay by saying “let me ask experts and Supreme Court judges
about its Constitutional validity” .
5.
Nevertheless,
as I said, I will support a draft with word “shall” instead of “may or need
not”. But I cant spend time in defending its
constitutional validity.
For more FAQs , pls see chap-3.
One
line summary of TCP is : if a citizen wants, Collector’s
clerk will put citizen’s complaint on the website of the Prime Minister for a
fee.
The
words “RTI application, complaints against corruption, any affidavit” only
re-state the word complaint. And allowing citizen to file YES on complaints is
only so that if 10000 citizens have same complaint then all 10000 need not go
to Collector’s office and pay Rs 20 per page – only one person needs to go to
Collector’s office and rest can submit same complaint by paying mere Rs 3 to
local Talati or Patwari’s office. So
clause-2 is a re-statement of clause-1.
The
clause-1 of TCP reads as “The President hereby orders Collector that : if a woman
voter or dalit voter or senior citizen voter or poor voter or farmer voter or
ANY citizen-voter in his district submits a complaint ….“ – Why write woman
voter, dalit voter, poor voter when just writing any voter would have sufficed?
Because if anyone opposes clause-1, then an TCP supporter can rightly portray
him as anti-woman, anti-dalit, anti-poor, anti-farmer etc .
And a large number of activist leaders in India have specialized as saviors of women, dalits,
tribal, poors etc. and these if these activist leaders oppose clause-1 of TCP,
then pro-TCP supporter can label then as anti-woman, anti-dalit etc. This will
enable TCP supporters to debate against them if and when needed.
Yes,
that’s all about TCP. Nothing more. So now the question is :
how can such a mere 3 line law-draft solve daunting problem of poverty? How can
it solve equally tough problems like corruption in policemen/judges? And many
problems as I claim?
When
I said that three line law-draft can reduce poverty,
corruption and MNC-domination in 4 months, you must have taken it as a lie and
a joke and I wont blame you. And now after reading these three lines, you must
be more puzzled that how can such innocent looking three lines bring any
change? After all, all TCP says is – let people put their
complain on the website of Prime Minister if they want. What change can
complaint posting alone can bring?
I
will elaborate.
The
day PM prints this TCP clauses in Gazette, I or
someone else will submit about 200 affidavits. The drafts of all these
affidavits are on my website rahulmehta.com and drafts and brief description
of some of the affidavits is given in this manifesto. The first affidavit is
what I call as MRCM – Mineral Royalties for Citizens and Military.
MRCM
is a 7-8 page proposed Gazette Notification
listed in chap-5 of this book at http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm. The MRCM draft
creates an administrative system by which each citizen of India directly
gets mineral royalties and land rents from GoI plots. E.g. say in jan-2013,
the mineral royalties and land rent from GoI plots was Rs 60000 cr. Then as per
the proposed MRCM law-draft, Rs 20000 cr will go towards Military. And from
rest Rs 40000 cr, each citizen will get about Rs 400 deposited in his
local post office account or local SBI account. Is distributing cash to
75 cr citizen-voters too complicated? No, it is not. If each of the adult
citizen of India visits bank or post office once a month to withdraw the cash,
only about 100,000 clerks will be needed. Is 100,000 clerk a too big a number?
No. Existing SBI has staff of over 300,000 and all PSU banks together have
staff of over 600,000. So the staff needed to support MRCM-draft is not very
large. The proposed MRCM Gazette Notification has
Right to Recall Chief Officer built into it to ensure least corruption. Each
and every detail is given the 7-8 page draft mentioned
later in chapter-5.
Now
I will ask some questions to the reader. Please read rest of the chapter only
after answering these question as they come. Background information for the
questions is as follows :
1. Say activists and
citizens have already forced PM to print TCP draft in Gazette
2. Say someone submitted
MRCM affidavit which says that mineral royalties and land rent should directly
go to citizens
3. Now in a later
chapter, I have explained how 75 crores citizens of India will come to know
about the proposed MRCM affidavit within one month.
4. Of the 75 crore adult
citizens of India, for the purpose of this question, please consider the
economically bottom 80% i.e. economically bottom 55 crore adult citizens of
India, who barely make Rs 50 per day
My
first question to you the reader is : how many
crores citizens of these 55 crore citizen-voters who barely make Rs 50 per day
will say – “I do not want this Rs 400 per person per month or
whatever may be the amount and let this money remain in GoI account”?
Please
read further ONLY after answering the above question. I will re-ask the question : How many of these 55 crore citizen-voters who
barely make Rs 50 per day will say – I do not want this Rs 400 per person per
month or whatever may be the amount and let this money go into GoI account?
My
answer is – less than 2% will say that he does not want this Rs 400 per person
per month. So most of the citizens in
bottom 55 crores of the 75 crore adult citizens will have one main thought ---
what do I lose? only Rs 3/- (see clause-2.1 of TCP
draft) and nothing more. And if luck favors, I may actually get Rs 400 per
person per month. What is your answer to this first question? How many citizens
in bottom 55 cr IYO will say that I don’t want this mineral royalty money?
Now
I have another question to you. The
background information for question is as follows :
1. Say citizens have managed
to force PM to put TCP-draft in the Gazette Notification.
2. Say someone submitted
MRCM affidavit and 50 crore citizens submitted YES on it
My
second question to the reader is : do you think
that PM will dare to say that “I will not print the proposed MRCM in Gazette?
Will any PM dare to defy the YES from 55 crore or more citizens? Again, please
read further ONLY after answering the above question.
Please
re-read the clause-3 of the TCP draft. The clause clearly says ----
Clause-3 : This TCP GN is not a referendum procedure. The Yes-No
count will not be a binding on PM, CMs, officers, judges etc. If over 37
crore women voters, dalit voters, senior citizen voters, poor voters, farmer
voters or ANY 37 crore citizen-voters register Yes on a given affidavit, then
the PM may or need not take necessary action on the RTI application affidavit ; or the PM may or need not resign. PM’s
decision will be final
So
clause-3 of TCP implies that even if all 75 cr citizen-voters submit YES on an
affidavit, then also the PM is not at all required to put the proposed
affidavit the Gazette. But no PM I can think of will ever dare to defy 55 cr
citizen voters. Why? Because each citizen who has registered YES knows that he
has 55 crore fellow citizens supporting his demand, and so each will confront
PM openly thru means he sees legitimate. And PM knows that citizens will
agitate and he also knows that his 15 lakh policemen cant
stop crores of citizen. And if some citizen decide to
become Ahmisamurti Mahatma Udham Singh, then even 5 lakh bodyguards will be
insufficient. (see section-13.16 for Mahatma Udham Singh). So PM out of fears
will not dare to defy so many citizens. So within 1-2 months after TCP is
printed in Gazette, the citizens will be able to force PM to print MRCM-draft
in the Gazette. And within 1-2 months after MRCM-draft is printed in Gazette,
the citizens will start getting mineral royalties and land rent from GoI plots,
and thus poverty will reduce. Later, the wealth tax reforms suggested will
increase industrial production and remove poverty completely These tax reforms
are enumerated chap-25 in this book rahulmehta.com/301.htm
This
is where power of TCP-draft comes. The TCP-draft doesn’t reduce poverty by itself.
Poverty reduction comes by MRCM-draft. But without TCP-draft in Gazette, PM
will never ever print MRCM-draft in Gazette because PM, MPs and their elitemen
friends want to eat away mineral royalty. But if TCP comes, PM will be
compelled to print MRCM-draft in Gazette in 2-3 months. So how is TCP making
difference? TCP’s clause-2 allows citizen to register YES on a draft submitted
in clause-1. And the same clause-2.1 also tells citizens that crores of
citizens are with him. It becomes easy for citizens to bring change when
crores have agreed, and these crores of citizens know that crores are with
them. They will not feel alone --- they will feel each other’s support. Just as
a person is more powerful in mob, TCP makes citizen-voters more powerful when majority’s
agreement has been proven.
Further,
if it is proven that a super-majority supports a specific proposal, then
Ahmisamurti Mahatma Udham Singh would also join mass-movement and try to
convince PM. And PM will never oppose Ahmisamurti Mahatma Udham Singh. Thus, if
and when super-majority agrees with a proposal submitted in clause-1, the PM
will print that proposal without much delay no matter what clause-3 says. The
details of Ahmisamurti Mahatma Udham Singh is given in
section-13.16 and chap-14.
I will first describe
a real event. In around year 2002, GoI made a scheme that every senior citizen
whose income is below Rs 50000 a year will get Rs 200 per month. GoI did not
advertise the scheme in TV, newspaper, radio anywhere. Yet, within a short span
of say 9-10 months, almost every senior citizen who was eligible came to know
of that scheme and most were enrolled. How did the word spread? When something
is in immediate, personal and direct interest, the words spreads like
electric current.
Once citizens force
PM to print TCP in the Gazette, and once MRCM affidavit is filed -- because MRCM is in
direct, immediate and personal interest, the information on MRCM affidavit will
spread equally fast. The task a citizen has to do is --- only visit Patwari’s
office for 10-15 minutes and pay Rs 3 fee and once the system comes on SMS it
becomes a few seconds and 5 paise. And since MRCM is in his direct and
immediate interest, he will tell as many neighbors, relatives, friends etc
about it. This is how word on MRCM affidavit will reach crores of citizens in
few days.
Now
my third question to the reader is : Why is
corruption in US policemen low? The one and only one reason why corruption in
US police is low is because citizens in US have procedure to expel District
Police Commissioner of their district. So the District Police Commissioners in
US take very less bribes and also ensure that their junior staff doesn’t take
too much bribes. If a Police Commissioner in US comes to know that his junior
staff is taking bribes, he will immediately run a sting operation, gather
evidences and gets them expelled. Because he fears that if corruption in junior
staff increases, the citizens may expel him. But in India, citizens have NO
procedure to expel Police Chief. And so the Police Chief not only collects
bribes, he asks his juniors to collect maximal bribes as well. A typical Police
Commissioner keeps half of what he collects from his juniors and passes the
remaining half to MLAs, Home Minister and CM. I explained this in more detail
in chap-2.
Now
I have prepared a draft of a proposed Gazette Notification in chap-22, which
will create a procedure by which the citizens of a district will be able to
replace the District Police Commissioner, if they want. I call this draft as
Right to Recall Police Commissioner. The draft is 100% consistent with each
of the 33 dozen Articles of our Constitution and all our existing laws.
Now
my forth question to the reader is : Will any existing CM of India, be Sheela Dixit or
Narendra Modi or Mamta Banerjee or Karunanidhi ever print a draft in Gazette
enabling citizens to replace District Police Commissioner today? My
guess is : NO. Because if citizens get procedure to
expel District Police Commissioner, then the Commissioner will get scared and
will reduce his bribe collection from Rs 1 crore per month to mere Rs 1 lakh
per month. And in that case, the hafta Police Commissioner gives to MLAs, Home
Minister and Chief Minister will also fall from Rs 50 lakh a month to mere Rs
50,000 per month. And so MLA, CM etc as of now will refuse to print Gazette
Notification that would allow us commons to replace District Police Commissioner.
But
the situation will change after citizens force PM to print proposed TCP-draft in the Gazette.
After that, someone can submit an affidavit with draft of Right to Recall
District Police Commissioner. Most citizens will think “if this Right to Recall
District Police Commissioner reduces the corruption in police even by 5%, my Rs
3 is well spent”. And the biggest reason that will motivate citizens to
register YES on DPC-RP is hatred against corrupt-policemen, who make lakhs of
rupees a months, while a common man barely makes a few
thousand a month after hard labor. So again, if 70% to 80% of citizens of a
State register YES using clause-2 of TCP, the CM out of fear will mellow down,
lose all his bravado and will print DPC-RP-draft in the Gazette. The fear of
losing job is Supreme in a govt. officer or a judge. So within 14 days after
citizens get procedure to expel District Police Commissioner, the corruption in
Police Commissioner as well as other policemen will reduce by over 99%. Thus
within 3 months after TCP passes, corruption in policemen will become near-zero.
The Right to Recall Police Chief. is just
beginning. Next comes recall procedures by which we commons can replace PM, CM,
MLAs, MPs, High Court Chief judge, Supreme Court Chief judges, Reserve Bank
Governor, State Bank Chairman, District Education Office, Mayor and officials
at 150 positions at National, State and District levels. Which recall law-draft
do you think citizens will oppose? My answer is :
NONE. So after TCP passes, chances are very high that within 6 months citizens will force PM to enact replacement
procedures over 251 positions. And so corruption in all these positions will
end for good.
By ensuring that CM
prints following Gazette Notification, citizens can have TCP at State level.

Talati aka Patwari aka Village

[To all Citizens] |
This
is not a referendum procedure. The Yes-No count will not be a binding on PM,
CMs, officers, judges etc. |
One
can enter a PIL asking Honorable High Court Justice (or a Supreme Court
Justice) to issue an order to the Registrars of The
District Courts and Talati as above. If any HC or SC Justice passes the order
as mentioned above, then within 4 months, the poverty will reduce and
corruption in police, court, education etc will become near zero.
So
all in all, TCP says nothing more or less than : please
allow a citizen if he wants to put his grievances on the website of Prime
Minister.
Now
if a leader or an eminent intellectual opposes clause-1 of TCP draft on any
grounds, pro-TCP activist like myself can abuse that leader, eminent
intellectual in public by saying : you don’t want woman voter, dalit voter. poor
voter, senior citizen voter, farmer, labor etc to even have his complaint on
the website of Prime Minister, eh? And I can further denigrate him by labeling
him as anti-woman, anti-dalit, anti-poor, anti-farmer, anti-labor etc. Which is
why till date, all eminent intellectuals, leaders etc oppose TCP-draft, but no
eminent intellectuals has ever dared to oppose
TCP-draft in public. So all a pro-TCP activist need to do is to ask eminent
intellectuals, leaders to give his views on clause-1 to clause-3 of TCP-draft
in public. And the eminent intellectual, leader will start mumbling and
fumbling with unease. I would request pro-TCP activist to discuss the TCP
clause-wise. Please ask the eminent intellectual – “why do you refuse to
take initiative in letting a complaint of citizens come on the website of Prime
Minister?” OR “ why do you oppose clause-1 of
TCP-draft?”. This will put the leader and eminent intellectual on defensive
to a point he simply cant defend himself. Later, his
silence or refusal to support clause-1 of TCP can be used to convince the
supporters of that leader, eminent intellectual that that leader, eminent
intellectual is an agent of rich. Please note that purpose of having dialogue
with a leader, eminent intellectual is not to convince him that TCP is good,
for an agent of wealthy individuals is never ever going to agree. The purpose
of dialogue is to expose the leader, eminent intellectual before his committed
followers that the said leader, eminent intellectual is an agent of rich and
not a pro-poor, pro-common person. This way, the true-Nationalist,
pro-common followers will desert that leader, eminent intellectual and that
leader, eminent intellectual will become weaker, and the true- Nationalist and
pro-common followers will become supporters of TCP. So as time goes, those who
support TCP will increase in number and the eminent intellectuals, leaders who
oppose TCP will become weaker and weaker. These actions will increase the
chances that the PM, CMs will be forced to print TCP.
Chap-13
gives a list of 40 small steps which will take you no more than 1 hour a week,
zero donations and enable you to help the cause of bringing TCP, RTR etc drafts
in India.
[Pls read this
section in the second reading of the book]
Just
as the Zero of Arithmetic simplifies many daunting tasks in Arithmetic, and
makes it possible to improve other branches of Maths, same way TCP makes it
trivially easy to enact many laws such as MRCM, RTR etc. The proposed TCP
simplifies political task of law-making in the same way zero simplifies basic
arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
And just as simplification of addition, subtraction, division, multiplication
lead to leaps of progress in other branches of Maths. E.g. Try adding XLVII
with XXII . And then try adding 47 with 22 and see how
invention of zero (and place value , face value)
simplified addition. And in the same way, try multiplying XLVII with XXII, and
the multiply 47 with 22. And next divide XLV by IX and then divide 45 by 9. And
these are just two digit numbers. Please try some examples of 4-6 digit
numbers’ addition, multiplication, subtraction and division with Roman Numerals
and then decimals.
TCP
works same as the way Zero works in arithmetic. It simplifies the task of
proving or disproving whether the majority will like or hate a proposal. And
thus it simplifies task of controlling officers via citizens. The Politics is
not about how ruler will govern the citizens, it is about how citizens can stop
rulers from usurping citizens’ wealth. TCP simplifies this good politics.
[Pls read this
section in the second reading of the book]
The
reader may ask that if this 3 line TCP law-draft can reduce poverty, how come
no one thought of it before? And the fact that no one thought of it before ---
doesn’t that prove that such law-draft cant exist?
The
civilizations have seen many landmark oversights. E.g. Romans and Greeks
managed accounts of Empires, made a lot of progress in Geometry and Logic, but
could not discover “Zero of Arithmetic”. Likewise, Incas and Maya had made
calendars, made palaces, made bridges but had not discovered wheel, the “Zero
of Logistics” !! The proposed TCP draft is the “Zero
of Political Arithmetic”. Just as the
Zero of Mathematics remained undiscovered for centuries, it has happened that
“Zero of Political Arithmetic” remained undiscovered till now. It need not
surprise anyone.
The chap-3 of rahulmehta.com/301.htm
explains how
§ how TCP makes PM’s
website the least dishonest media and far more powerful media than all existing
newspapers, TV-channels put together
§ how cost of filing
YES-NO reduces from Rs 3 to 5 paise when secure SMS come
§ how time needed to
file YES-NO reduces from 15 minutes to few seconds with secure SMS
And many more facts
on TCP.
One question I always
face is “what is spreading information to citizens going to attain”? After all,
my goal is to get TCP, RTR-PM etc drafts printed in the Gazette Notifications.
And so what if all 75 crore citizen-voters demand TCP? The PM will never ever
print it against his wish no matter how many citizens demand it. So what good
is convincing PM going to do? Instead, I should try to persuade IAS, IPS,
judges, MPs, Ministers etc and try to appeal to them.
Well, if “appealing”
was of much use, then perhaps appealing alone would have given freedom in 1947
and appealing alone would have stopped Ghazani from looting Somnath. Appeals
are necessary to prove to audience that person will not respond to appeals. But
that’s about it. So all in all, making
presentation to IAS, IPS, Ministers, MPs, MLAs and judges on RTR, TCP, MRCM etc
are useless and waste of time.
Then what good
informing citizens would do? Following is the course of action I contemplate :
1. We RTR-activists
would (and should) focus only on informing maximal number of citizens that TCP,
RTR etc drafts are worth printing in the Gazette by PM.
2. If majority of
citizens say that TCP, RTR drafts are not worthy of being printed in Gazette,
then it would end of the story for us.
3. However, say majority
of citizens of India, say as high as 70% to 95% agree that the drafts should be
printed in the
Gazette. The also if PM refuses to print the draft in Gazette, then Mahatma
Udham Singh will visit PM, and then PM (or next PM) will print the TCP/RTR etc
drafts in the Gazette.
Who is Mahatma Udham
Singh? It is explained in detail section-13.16 . I
also request the reader to google and find out. Mahatma Udham Singh is the most
non-violent person I have found in the history of India (and aside
: Duratma Gandhi is the most violent person I have seen in history of
India). Come Mahatma Udham Singh, and PM (or next PM) will agree to printing
the TCP-draft in Gazette.
If
so, then why am I taking information on TCP, RTR-drafts to the citizens? And why
am I asking citizens
to Why not approach Mahatma Udham Singhs directly? Well, Mahatma
Udham Singh will act on wish and will of majority only, and no one else. He is
too intelligent and he cannot be fooled by creating media hype or by power
point presentations or by singing patriotic songs or any charisma. Mahatma
Udham Singh will not be influenced by money at all. He doesn’t care for media
fame and wishes no appreciation. Mahatma Udham Singh will listen to commons of
India and commons only. So there are no short cuts to reach to Mahatma Udham
Singh ---- the only way to reach to Mahatma Udham Singh is to first reach the majority of
citizens of India, and ask them to ask Mahatma Udham Singh to convince PM
(or next PM) to print TCP in Gazette. And once majority of citizens ask Mahatma
Udham Singh to act, Mahatma Udham Singh will surely act. Mahatma Udham Singh
has never disappointed us commons.
If the enemy of India
is outsider, we need soldiers. How many? Depends on how many soldiers
enemy has. But deal with enemies inside, we do not need soldiers nor can they
help. To deal with enemies within India, we only need a few dozen Mahatma Udham
Singh to act. But getting one Mahatma Udham Singh to act requires asking
majority of citizens of India to ask Mahatma Udham Singh to act. There are no
short cuts.
So I will spend all
my time and efforts in doing mainly one thing --- try to inform crores of
citizens about RTR-drafts and ask all activists to do the same. Not only
majority of citizens must ask for TCP\RTR drafts to be printed in the Gazette,
it should be clear to majority that majority has asked for this drafts to be
printed in the Gazette. If the commons decide to ask PM to print in the
Gazette, then they will ask Mahatma Udham Singh to ask PM to do so. That will
be necessary and sufficient.
Pls send order to PM
via SMS to print TCP-draft in the Gazette. The activist-leaders such as Anna
and Arvind Gandhi has opposed the proposal that citizens should directly send
orders to PM via SMS. They insist on activities like sloganeering, candle
burning etc to waste away time and energy of activists. I will suggest you not
to waste time in sloganeering and candle burning, but instead send orders to PM
via SMS. And in addition, please read chap-13 of this book rahulmehta.com/301.htm . It has several steps where-in you can spend
4 hours a week and help to bring Right to Recall law-drafts in India. The tasks
involve giving advertisements in newspaper, distributing pamphlets and
contesting election on RTR plank.
I have explained how
mere 3 line TCP law-draft will reduce poverty, corruption in policemen etc. The
interested reader is welcome to phone me on 98252-32754 or 98251-27780. And if
you like this law-draft, please do print the petition at
http://rahulmehta.com/q.htm or http://facebook.com/groups/righttorecallparty/permalink/10151395103588103/
. This first small step is extremely important to get this TCP law-draft
passed. And next, please do read chap-13 . This chapter-13 has list of
tasks that an activist can follow by spending no more than 1 hr a week. And if
mere 200,000 activists all over India follow this program once a week, India
can improve. The list of tasks are mere activities which involve time and no
donation gathering at all.
