Re: [HumJanenge] Democracy is Best BUT Most Parties are Undemocratic Led By Dullards

Democracy is the best if Transparency , Accountability , Responsibility and practically no Flexibility form part of  the governing system.
For example the Commissioner of a Municipal Corporation should be made accountable for the pot holes on the roads , water stagnating in low lying areas , garbage is lying scattered in open. Things will change over night  with very little scope of corruption.

Democracy is Best BUT Most Parties are Undemocratic Led By Dullards

 

Dear Jaykaran & Sarbjit,

Before 2009 General Elections I wanted Cream of retired Defense Officers, Professionals and Civil Servants to form 'Democratic Party of India'. In this exercise I found – it is impossible to join most political parties, you are not invited to even participate in general party meetings to deliberate political or economic situation.

 

Conduct of our political parties is Corrupt. For example Nitish Kumar of JDU who failed in Engineering Exams twice and was given a certificate o passing but not allowed to practice engineering has So much authority within party---.

 

ARTICLE XX

National Executive

 

1. The National Executive shall consist of the President and seventy four members elected by the National Council, as per rules prescribed by the National Executive. The President shall appoint three Vice Presidents, a Treasurer, a Secretary-General, and not more than ten General Secretaries from amongst the members of the National Executive. He may also appoint not more than ten

Secretaries.

 

It will shock you to discover parties like JDU led by Nitish Kumar who headed India's largest organization Indian Railways and lead third most populated state Bihar can't even copy most important paragraph correctly. Comparison of Para INC 2 and JDU 2 have following missing line which is crucial.

 

"--- he shall be declared elected as President. If no candidate secures more than 50 per cent of the first preferences,---"

 

JDU constitution was submitted/printed in Maech2001. A totalitarian cum authoritarian party he leads didn't know the important mistake in eight years.

 

How can people like promise to eradicate corruption and "Nominate" capable people when they have such poor caliber?

Sarbajit,

 

           I feel the villain of all these happenings is our  "political system,"  viz, party type democracy. (You know in Tamil Nadu  alone, there are 54 parties !) The curent system keeps the intellectuals away from politics.  Actually, the intellectuals shun to fight the elections and the political party  bosses will not nominate them for elections..

 

            Let's have the highly competent Indians above the age of 55 at the helm of affairs and they need to serve only one Lok Sabha terms and thereafter retire. We need to identify such personalities and compel them to stand for elections. The election system will have to be modified and the candidates concenned are not to invest any money.  Only four or five candidaes per constituency  will be selected by a Citizens' council to stand for elections. The govenment should do the publicity  for them. The cost of election to a candidate will be next to nil and money will play no part in the Indian elections at all. In  this system, all and sundry cannot stand for elections but only those nominated by theCitizens council which will consist of Indians with competence and several achievements to their credit. Let the system not depend on partywise numbers but in numbers based on truth, conscience and the best interest of the nation.  The criminals and vagabonds  and incompetent persons will never step into the Lok Sabha by this approach.
