ROMP - A
Panacea ?
In past few years , our Lok Sabha has been repeatedly
paralyzed by slogan shouting MPs
Perhaps , the past two weeks were the worst in the
history of Lok Sabha , with no business conducted
Someone suggested that MPs be made to lose their
salaries for this period , following the universally / legally accepted rule :
No Work , No Pay
This won't work . Our crore-pati MPs could not care a
hoot for loss of pay !
Only thing that might work :
A mobile app called , " ROMP
/ Recall Our MP " ( Idea for a Start-Up ? )
Only voters who qualify as follows , will be permitted
to use this App , in order to recall an MP :
* He must be on Electoral Roll
* He must have actually voted ( even if NOTA ) ,
in the last general election
{ This criteria is bound to boost voting
percentage to 95 % ! No need to
make voting
compulsory ! }
* He can " Vote to Recall " , only MP
who got elected from the constituency
from where he cast his vote in last
election
* He can vote only if there is no Criminal
charges filed against him
* The App itself will accept his " Rating /
Vote " only on two days of the year
announced by the Election Commission for
each constituency
* Any other criteria that readers may wish to
suggest ( crowd-sourcing )
ROMP will show following criteria , with
" YES " or " NO " buttons against each :
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOG-IN :
# Suspend MP for next
Session................................ YES.......NO
# Recall
MP.............................................................YES ..... NO
Justify your recommendation by " Rating "
your MP , below
( Unless rated on each criteria , your vote will be
invalid )
Is this MP ( who is being rated by you ) :
#
Honest..............................................
YES........NO
# Of high
Integrity................................. YES........ NO
# Sincere..............................................
YES........ NO
# Hard-working
.................................... YES........ NO
#
Punctual.............................................. YES....... NO
#
Dignified............................................ YES........
NO
# Follows Speaker's
Orders..................... YES........ NO
# Good
Listener....................................... YES......... NO
# Awaits his turn to
speak.......................... YES........ NO
# Asks only relevant
questions.................. YES........ NO
# Approachable to
Voters.......................... YES....... NO
# Answers Voters' Emails
promptly............... YES...... NO
# Provides regular feedback to Voters
............. YES.......NO
# Addresses other MPs with
respect............... YES..........NO
SUBMIT

Conditions governing use of ROMP
:
> It can be downloaded from the web site
of Election Commission , upon
filling up a form, requiring
all kinds of proof that you are a genuine voter
> Upon being satisfied ( that you are a
genuine voter ) , the Server will
issue a User ID and Password,
to log in before you can use the App.
It would be better still , if
biometric identification is integrated with the
App , since AADHAR cards are
already having such identification
> ROMP
can be downloaded only once
> At least 66 % of the Voters who had
actually voted in that Constituency
during the last General
Election , should take part in ROMP event for it
to be considered valid
> Only in case more than 2/3rd ( > 66 % )
of " Ratings " cast recommend
Suspension or Recall , will the
Election Commission / Speaker act
according to People's Mandate
> However , in case where those 66 % are
divided between " Recall " and
" Suspend " , then "
Suspend " will prevail
> Rating results will be made public on
Election Commission web site on the
next day and also published in
leading Newspapers
I do believe that the present NDA government is keen to
introduce / pass ,
" RIGHT TO RECALL
BILL " in Lok Sabha as part of Electoral Reforms
Except that the combined opposition may defeat it in
Rajya Sabha !
Which MP would want to sign his own death-warrant
?
But even without a legal backing , I feel ROMP
would have a salutary effect
on the behavior of our MPs , who would know that they
are being watched,
and their conduct is being evaluated ! - and will be
made public !
ROMP , along with my earlier suggested
mobile Apps ,
( look up hemenparekh.... in )
> VotesApp
> I SIN><U SIN ,
will take us many steps closer to a Digital India
If you endorse my views , please forward to all Policy
Makers
If not , please do come up with a better idea !
