We have been promoting DRAFTS required to bring pro-common laws like RTR-CM, TCP etc. and also asking citizens to do the same. Now, due to demand by citizens, Karnataka government is forced to consider drafting for RTR over gram panchayat posts. Although the procedure is useless.
Positive Results coming due to demand by citizens —-> Karnataka government drafting right to recall bill for rural voters
Now, activists and citizens should focus on the procedure rather than name if they want an effective procedure and demand a effective procedure.
If a good replace/recall procedure is in place, 99% of officials will behave and rest 1% can be replaced by better offcials. If you wish RTR over CM, then please send following order to your MLA via SMS, twitter, whatsapp etc. —
” Please promote via website, private member bill etc. Right to Recall CM draft at tinyurl.com/RtrMukhyamantri and get printed in Gazette Or will not vote for you/your party. Also, set up a public sms server like smstoneta.com so that SMS-opinions of all citizens, with their voter IDs, can be seen by all ”
