1.10 How can YOU
help in bringing TCP draft in India’s Gazette?
Within
3 months after TCP Gazette Notification is issued, following clauses can be
added to GN. These features are to reduce “bogus voting” and also to counter
the argument that “there will be bogus voting and so this procedure must never
ever exist”
1. A person will be able
to register Yes-No by SMS – he has to register his mobile phone number in the
Voter List Dept in Collector’s office and after verification, he will be able
to register YES-NO via SMS
2. A person will be able
to register Yes-No by ATM – he has to register his ATM card in Voter List Dept
in Collector’s office and after verification, he will be able to register
YES-NO via ATM. The Collector can make a system which connects Collector’s
office to banks’ computers, which are connected to ATM
3. The citizen’s finger
print will be in computer so that computer can verify the voter using
finger-print identification.
4. A camera will be
connected to Patwari’s computer so that it will scan the picture of the citizen
and finger print and store it as well as put it on the receipt of his Yes-No.
This way a person is registering too many Yes-No, it would become possible to
track and arrest him.
5. The citizen will be
given a passbook that will have list of all Yes-No he has registered. So if
anyone else has registered Yes-No by impostering him, he will come to know
about it
6. Every citizen will
get a statement every month showing list of Yes-No he registered in past six
months. So if any imposter has registered Yes/No, he will come to know about it
7. If the citizen
wishes, he can register his mobile phone number and he will get SMS when he
registers Yes-No. So if anyone has registered Yes-No by impostering him, he
will come to know about it immediately.
8. If the citizen
wishes, he can register his email address and he will get email when he
registers Yes/No. So if anyone has registered Yes-No by impostering him, he
will come to know about it immediately.
This
will make Yes-No registration more secure than banking. With these safe-guards,
bogus voter will be caught by 5th or 6th try and this
will reduce the number of bogus filers. Now “1% of Yes-No may be bogus and so
all 75 cr voters must not be allowed to register Yes-No” is a frivolous
argument.
The
proposed TCP Gazette Notification does not require or even expect citizens to
register Yes-No on every affidavit or every proposed law-draft? Nor does it
mean that MPs , MLAs cannot make any more laws --- they may as they do now. The
TCP-GN only means that if a citizen
wants to register Yes/No on some of the laws on Govt website , Govt shall not
block him and Govt shall
register his Yes-No on the Govt website. Now out of 1000s of laws we have,
not all will register Yes-No on all laws. But x% may register Yes-No on some
100-200 laws, and x% may be very high for laws such as DVA, 498A etc. This x%
YESes or NOs can create a powerful movement for/against that law-draft.
The
TCP-GN simply creates an additional option. The citizens may depend on MLAs,
MPs for most laws and demand to cancel the laws. But there are times when MPs,
MLAs refuse to listen. eg Majority of citizens want 498A and DVA to be
canceled, but MPs, MLAs insist on keeping this law-draft as this law-draft
fetches huge bribes to policemen (and MLAs, MPs get part of these bribes via
the IPS). Likewise, almost all commons I met agree that interviews during
recruitments of judges, professors, policemen, IIMs students etc should be
banned but all MPs, MLAs and eminent intellectuals insist on laws that promote
interviews. They support interviews because it enables them to collect bribes,
put their relatives and filter out meritorious but “ideologically inconvenient”
people. These are the times when if citizens have procedure to register YES/NO
on laws, they may be able to use it.
One
question I often face is : wont the rich be able to buy out the citizens?
Answer is NO. Consider an example. Say I propose an GN – Abolish SEZ Act 2005.
Say
there are 72 cr voters in India. So for the proposed GN to succeed, it would
need YES from about 37 cr citizen-voters. Obviously, pro-SEZ elitemen might
decide to spend 100s of crores of rupees to ensure that the proposal does not
get 37 cr YESes. Will their money help?
1. Now if proposal fails
to reach the ears of 38 cr citizens, it failed but NOT because of money of
pro-SEZ elitemen.
2. If the proposal
reached 10s of crores of voters and the
refused to register YES, then the failure was not due to money of pro-SEZ
elitemen.
3. Say some proposal did
reach ears of 50 cr to 70 cr voters. Say some 45 cr voters decided to register
YES i.e. cancel SEZ Act 2005.
4. Now will it be possible
for pro-SEZ elitemen to pay say Rs 50 or Rs 1000 or anything so that some 4 cr
voters do not register YES?
Lets
say that pro-SEZ elitemen see that some 40 cr citizens are likely to register
YES on “abolish SEZ” proposal. Say elitemen decide to bribe out say 5 crore
voters and ask them not to register YES. Say they offer Rs 100 per voter. If
the do, every citizen would demand Rs 100 and so elitemen will have to give Rs
100 to all 75 cr citizens and so they will end up spending Rs 7200 cr. But will
that be end of the story? No. Say elitemen pay Rs 7200 cr and manage to stop
commons from registering YES on the proposal. Then all I need to do is to ask
one of my friends to submit same “abolish SEZ Act 2005” proposal with a few
words different,. Now thats a different proposal. So voters will ask elitemen
again to cough up Rs 100 or they would threaten to register YES on this new
proposal. After all, it is a different proposal – the money paid for the
previous proposal in past doesn’t count. So elitemen will have to cough up
another Rs 7200 cr again. If that also happens, I can again ask my another
friend to submit a third proposal with few words different. Now either citizens
will register YES on that third proposal or demand another Rs 100 from pro-SEZ elitemen.
Within months, elitemen would run out their all their generations of savings
and assets. All wealth of elitemen in India add to no more than Rs 100,00,000
crores. If they decide to stall a pro-common anti-elitemen proposal using Rs
100 per voter, the cost would be Rs 7200 cr per such proposal. And by filing
2000 such proposals within 6 months, which would cost me and my friend only Rs
20000/- all the money of elitemen would evaporate within 6-12 months. And the
elitemen are rational --- they would not waste their money like this and attain
nothing. IOW, TCP will ensure that bribe given to citizen is burning away money
and results into no gains. So making claims that TCP is something that elitemen
can buy away only shows that person is hopelessly unaware of real life
calculation. TCP is immune to money power as it gives option to citizens to
file same proposal again and again and again and thus collect money again and
again and again. This is simply unviable.
I
have been campaigning this proposal, that allow citizens to write on Govt
website, for a few years. One valid question I get from many youth is : wont
TCP result into increase in reservation? Wont SC, ST and OBCs demand more
reservation using this GN? The answer is : NO.
In fact, it will reduce the reservation, as the poor Dalits, the poor
STs and the poor OBCs will support the law-draft “Economic Choice vs.
Reservation” that I have proposed in the chapter “RRP stand on Reservation
issue”. As per the law-draft, any Dalit, ST, OBC will have option to get Rs
600\year instead of reservation. So if say 80% SC, ST and OBC opt for economic
choice, then total reservation will decrease from 50% to 10%. The law-draft
proposed in that chapter will get support from over 80% of Dalits, STs and OBCs
who are poor and cant even reach class-12. And this will reduce total caste
based reservation. So if one is worried that TCP will increase the reservation,
he is mistaken. Thus, TCP will lead to “Economic Choice vs. Reservation” which will reduce reservation.
This
GN I demand does not require allocation of hundreds of crores of rupees, does
not require allocation of 1000s of staff, does not require 1000s of buildings
or roads. And as per our Constitution as interpreted by the Citizens, PM\CM do
not need approval of MPs\MLAs to enact this change. Yet each and every eminent intellectual is hostile to this
proposed Gazette Notification. All parties’ leaders have hated this proposal
and their CMs and PM have sworn not to print this TCP GN we demand. All eminent
intellectuals of India have opposed this TCP-GN and have asked CMs and
PM not print this TCP GN. Why? Pls
ask them.
A
pro-common change starts not just when crores of citizens have agreed, but when
crores of citizens have agreed and crores of citizens know that crores of
citizens have agreed. Let me repeat this sentence,
as the sentence covers theme of all major changes that citizens brought in past
3000 years.
A
pro-common change starts not just when crores of citizens have agreed, but when
crores of citizens have agreed and crores of citizens know that crores of
citizens have agreed.
The “crores of citizens know that crores of citizens
have agreed” is what I call as “the Zero of
Political Arithmetic”. That’s where and when the
pro-common change begins. The eminent intellectuals and mediamen always try to
convince each of the common that he is all alone and rest of the crores of
commons are unaware. TCP not only enables citizen to file YES/NO on a proposed
change, but if crores of citizens have agreed for a change, then all crores of
citizens come to know that crores of citizens do want this change. It does not
allow media-owners to create an image that “people don’t care” on an issue. TCP
reduces the power of media-owners in twisting images on priorities of the
crores of citizens. TCP
is central to our RRP’s political movement to improve the Indian
administration. And our RRP-claim is : My TCP claim : Once citizens manage to
force PM to put TCP in the Gazette Notification, poverty will vanish in 4
months, MNC domination will reduce in 4 months,
and corruption in India’s police, courts and education will become near
zero in 4 month, and within 10 years, India will be at par with West in terms
of technology, economy and weapon manufacturing.
I
would repeat my claim in a box :
My RRP claim : Once citizens manage to force
PM to put TCP in the Gazette Notification, poverty will vanish in 4 months, MNC
domination will reduce in 4 months, and
corruption in India’s police, courts and education will become near zero in 4
month, and within 10 years, India will be at par with West in terms of
technology, economy and weapon manufacturing.
My eventual goals are
giving mine royalties to citizens, giving procedure to replace SCjs to citizens
and so forth. But my first demand is tiny --- letting us commons register
YES/NO and that too the YES/NO counts have no legal weight. So while there are
other administrative changes in our agenda, the first change I propose is tiny.
Why do I ask citizens to ask for such a tiny change ?
Because if we citizens ask for a large change, we
would end up giving years of time to CMs, PM and eminent intellectuals. If the commons ask
for large change, like employment or complete eradication of poverty or so
forth, then that would automatically give the neta an excuse to ask for months
and years of time. In this long years, CMs, eminent intellectuals would do
nothing and we would lose that long time. Also, when a leader denies a small
change, it is easy for activists to mobilize movement against him. By asking
leaders not for a big change, but for small change, and when the
leader/intellectuals refuse to implement that small change, it would become
possible for commons and pro-commons to convince the selfless activists that
leaders, elitemen and intellectuals are corrupt.
We request all
non-80G-activists and citizens to taken following steps
1. please take time to
read every word of the TCP draft I have proposed
2. if you hate TCP, then
bye-bye, I have nothing for you – all my proposals are based on TCP.
3. if you like TCP draft, then.
°
if
you are BJP supporter then I request you to ask BJP CMs to print TCP draft in
Gazette
°
if
you are Congress supporter then I request you to ask Congress PM\CMs to print
TCP-draft
°
if
you are CPM supporter then I request you to ask CPM CMs to print TCP-draft in
Gazette
°
if
you are BSP then I request you to ask BSP CMs to print TCP-draft in Gazette
°
etc
etc
4. if you like TCP draft, then pls ask Anna
Hazare to print TCP clauses in the Jan Lokpal draft
5. if they all refuse to
print TCP, then I request to you to raise mass movement on your own to force
PM\CMs to print TCP-draft in the Gazette.
All
MPs in Congress, BJP, CPM, CPI have opposed TCP. Even opposition MPs such as
Subramanian Swamy has opposed TCP. These politicians oppose TCP because these
politicians depend heavily on MNC-owners and Missionaries for media support
i.e. MNC-owners and Missionaries pay mediamen to support these leaders. The
MNC-owners and Missionaries do not want TCP in India, and so these leaders
oppose TCP.
The
activist leader such as The Anna has opposed the proposal to print TCP clauses
in the Janlokpal draft. Each of the Chhote Anne have also opposed TCP clauses.
They also ask activist to oppose TCP. They oppose TCP because they heavily
depend on MNC-owners and Missionaries for media coverage. The MNC-owners and
Missionaries are paying TV-channel-owners to cover them. And they all know
All
in all, all MPs, MLAs, eminent
intellectuals and activist leaders oppose RTR because they rightly fear that
elitemen and Missionaries will stop supporting them if they were to support
RTR.
You
can send order to PM\MP\CM\MLA via SMS to print TCP in Gazette. Please also read
chap-13 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.htm . It has several steps
where-in you can spend 6 hours a week and help to bring TCP drafts in Gazette
in India. The steps involve sending orders to PM\CM\MP\MLA via SMS, distributing
pamphlets, informing citizens on motives of leaders who oppose TCP, giving
newspaper ads, contesting elections on RTR via SMS plank etc.
