Constructive Criticism
?
-------------------------
During his “ Man ki Baat “ yesterday , Shri Narendra
Modiji said :
“I am also influenced
by good and bad things like the aam aadmi (common man),” Modi said during his
monthly radio show, Mann Ki Baat. “Constructive criticism strengthens democracy. For an aware
nation, an awakened nation, this churning is very important.”
But , how do you get a
1000 million citizens to give such a “ feedback “ to the government ?
They can neither write
“ snail mail “ nor “ e mail “ !
But they can send an “ objective assessment “ of the
government’s “ performance
“ if the government were to make available on their smart phone , a Mobile App ( RUN – Rate Us Now ) , as suggested in my
following blog ( Second figures inside the bracket, - in GREEN - denote my rating
after 3 YEARS of NDA regime , as on 29 May 2017 ) :
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here
are the " Chances " which I attach to fulfilment of each of BJP's
following poll promises ( as mentioned in its Manifesto ) , by the end of 3rd year :
*
Ensure minimization of Black Money and
setting up of a Task
Force ......... ( 50 % / 50 % )
*
Special Courts to stop hoarding and
black-marketing. ( 100 % / 0 % )
*
Set-up a Price-Stabilization Fund.......( 100 % / 25 % )
*
Develop labour-intensive Manufacturing ... ( 10 % / 0
% )
*
Empowering youth for Self-Employment... ( 25 %
/ 10 % )
*
Transforming Employment Exchanges to
Career Centers ( 10%
/ 0 % )
*
Eliminating corruption thru E-Governance... ( 10 % / 50 % )
*
Rationalization / Simplification of
Tax-regime.. ( 20 % / 50 % )
*

political intervention and
interference..... ( 10 % )
*
Strengthening physical infrastructure
with expediting work on
freight and Industrial Corridors.....

Did
I miss out any ?
Parallel
with whatever the Pollsters may - or may not - do , it would be worthwhile for
BJP Tech-Team , to come out with a Mobile App
( to be named , " RUN - Rate Us Now " ? ), to find out what voters feel
, on a 5 point scale
Or
, an App that would let the voters
prioritize among various promises
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Shri Narendrabhai :
Such
a Mobile App is THE ONLY WAY to enable millions of ordinary
citizens to provide a hassle-free unbiased “ Constructive Criticism “ , in a hurry
It
is also the only way to silence those “ head-in-the-sky “ PUNDITS !
