Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

SIMULTANEOUS POLLS ARE POSSIBLE


Dear Shri Sahasrabuddhe ,


About your initiative to bring about a consensus re holding of simultaneous polls , I read in today’s DNA

In this regard , over the past 2 years , I have sent many emails to policy makers and leaders of political parties

You may want to look up the following

Poll Reforms : Time for a Consensus



A Parliamentary Panel headed by Shri Anand Sharma , has come out with a questionnaire , requesting Election Commission and all the Political Parties , their views on many issues surrounding Electoral Reforms



Here is what Indian Express reported on this on 21 Aug 2017 :








Over the past 3 years , I have sent a few suggestions in this regard to the Election Commission as well as to Central Government Ministers and Secretaries / Niti Aayog / some State Chief Ministers / major Political Parties / MPs / MLAs etc


Here is a partial list :


·


=======================================================

=======================================================



·         One  Nation ,  One  Vote  ?  

=======================================================

=======================================================
·         A  Blue  Print  for  VotesApp  ?  

=======================================================

=======================================================
·         #EVMBahana  

=======================================================

=======================================================

=======================================================

=======================================================

=======================================================

=======================================================

=======================================================
·         One  Poll :  One  Time   

=======================================================
·         Advantage  Incumbent  ?  

=======================================================
·         The  Greatest  Reform   

=======================================================
·         One  day  polling  is  possible   

=======================================================
·         Honey  !  I shrunk  the  EVM  !  

=======================================================
·         Perennial  Poll  Promises  


·         ROMP :  a  Panecia  ?


·         How to shame MPs / MLA s ?  


=======================================================


But the question is :


Which Political Party is ready to let go its Strangle-Hold on the system and transfer the power to the Citizens ?  Which politician wants to sign his / her “ own death warrant “ ?


Long time back , Karl Marx is supposed to have said :

Religion is the opium of the masses  !



If he was alive today , he would have said :


For suffering / starving citizens , Voting is the illusion of power that the political parties wish to perpetuate !
