1.22   Summary

 

1.1       So is this some joke?

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.

1.2      What is a Gazette Notification? 

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.

3

[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 !

(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.

1.4      Do all citizens in India have internet to use this GN? And other questions

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.

1.5      A one line summary of TCP

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.

1.6      Why mention words “dalit voters” , “ woman voters” etc  in 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.

1.7      Is that all?

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?

1.8      So how does TCP GN reduce poverty within mere 4 months?

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.

1.9      How will crores of citizens come to know that MRCM affidavit has been submitted?

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.

1.10    How does TCP law-draft reduce corruption in police?

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.

1.15    How to denigrate leaders, eminent intellectuals who oppose TCP

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.

1.16    How can you help in making PM print TCP-draft in Gazette?

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.

1.17    How TCP is the Zero of Political Arithmetic?

[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.

1.18    Why no one thought of this before?

[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.

 

1.19    More on TCP in chap-3

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.

1.20    How would spreading information is necessary and sufficient

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.

1.21    How can YOU help in bringing TCP law-draft in India?

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.

1.22    Summary

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.
