Re: [IAC++] A new political set up for India.

Dear Col Jayakaran

We really appreciate the trouble you are taking in the prime of your life to think of saving the nation.

My own model however, gives me a quite different output.

1) My model says that honest, intelligent people do not get elected to public office. If a new party puts up 542 such candidates, they would be lucky to win even 10 seats.

2) My model says that the more corrupt the party which is elected the better the improvements in life for the average middle-class urban citizen.

3)  I dont think that voters are as fed up with the BJP AND the Congress as you make out. I think India is still essentially a 2 party system (and not necessarily the Congress and the BJP only)
For eg. in TN it wud be DMK versus ADMK. In UP the SP versus BSP.  In Punjab the Congress versus Akalis. In J&K the NC versus PDP etc. and so on.

4) What is happening is that the Left seems to be shrinking politically as are the Big 2 parties also.

5) Insofar as AAP is concerned, it is pretty clear it is an RSS operation to transfer the RSS vote bank out of BJP into "winnable" rebels in specific seats so that if the votes break in a certain way the RSS assumes more importance than it represents, and also at the time of BJP's ticket distribution. The Congress is concerned because of the rebel factor - their vote bank tends to be somewhat more "swingy" than an ideological party's and the split factor would hurt them slightly more than BJP.

      No, no, you are completely off the mark.  I am thinking of a political party where every face will be new but the most  intelligent and expereinced Indians  in some field  who are in a position to 'give' will be the members.

       We don't want theold haggards at all.  If one thinks that we cannot do without the old horses,he/she will be completely wrong. There are thousands of intellectuals and we have to pull them out.

       If we follow the strategy which I shall reveal in some appropriate time, I have no doubt that party will capture easily 500 seats and form a single party government.  And that' the need of the day as well.  The new adinistration will bring in new thoughts,new approaches and new work ethics..

       Don't forget that th voters are fed up with BJP and Congress. They are on the look out for a viable new party.  Bu where is it?  This where you and I come in.

       Are you with me so far?  Well, more later if you are on my wavelength.
