Writing on the Wall ?
---------------------------------
Dictionary.com
defines it as :
handwriting on the wall, a premonition, portent, or clear indication, especially of
failure or disaster :
The company had ignored the handwriting
on the wall and was plunged into bankruptcy. Also writing on
the wall.
Only yesterday , I blogged :
Where
I wrote :
Future of DEMOCRACY rests in innovations like (
mobile app ) “ Neta “
Till arrival of the 2019 general election days - and forever thereafter - our politicians would log into " Neta " everyday , to know their " Share Price " in the " Political Stock Exchange " of India !
Till arrival of the 2019 general election days - and forever thereafter - our politicians would log into " Neta " everyday , to know their " Share Price " in the " Political Stock Exchange " of India !
Then
today I came across following :
Now,
a mobile app to rate, review your ‘neta’
Piloted during the February
bypolls in Rajasthan's Ajmer and Alwar constituencies, the app was later used
in Karnataka ahead of the assembly elections in May
Today’s
Economic Times carries following news report :
Extract
:
“Sitting MLAs should not have any wrong notion.
Party may replace them if their performance is not up to the mark.
Ticket will be given on the basis of performance
and mood of the public,” he said. ( Avinash Rai Khanna –BJP incharge
of Rajasthan )
“CM is particular about public feedback. MLAs not in public’s good books would be denied ticket
irrespective of their status and reputation,” said a
minister close to Raje.
“Party is evaluating the performance of all these
17 MLAs separately.
Most of them would be denied ticket this time. Party may bring in fresh face, be it from within the party or from opposition,” he said.
No more it will be possible for our Netas to hide their heads under the desert sands and hope that the incoming storm [ General Elections of 2019 ] will , somehow blow away , without hurting them !
Do
not be surprised if Shri Narendra Modiji asks Shri Amit Shah to use “ Neta “
for feedback of BJP MPs / MLAs , for selecting candidates for 2019 , on a
country-wide basis
Shri
Modiji should not let this opportunity of a ground level “ FEEDBACK “
pass by .
For
Indian Democracy , “ Neta “ could well portend “ Ides
of March – 2019
“ !

Congratulations , Pratham Mittal !
--------------------------------------
Today
( 24 Aug 2018 ) , 27 year old Pratham Mittal [ p@outgrow.co
] is launching his Mobile App , “ Neta “
It
will enable Indian citizens to “ Rate “ our
politicians , on a continuous basis
“ Mittal wants to build a company, along the
lines of Gallup in the US, which will gauge changes in political preferences,
and quantify public mood.
“
For
details , read :
Pratham
Mittal's app allows people to rate politicians and
gauge public mood before elections
I
urge, Pratham to incorporate “ ROMP “ into “ Neta “ :
ROMP :
a Panacea ? [ 06
Aug 2015 ] :
ROMP User Interface :

Pratham
,
I
have no doubt that “ Neta “ will make our political leaders “ perform “ better
, all through the year ( whether or not , they are a sitting MP / MLA /
Corporator )
But
do not stop here
Do
consider the following as well ( even as separate Apps ) :
Filtering
Candidate Information ? [ 18 Sept 2016 ]
Reforming Elections and Lok Sabha [ REaL
] [ 20 Dec 2016 ]
Pratham ,
Future of
DEMOCRACY rests in innovations like “ Neta “
Tillll
arrival of the 2019 general election days - and for
ever thereafter - our politicians would
log
into " Neta " everyday , to know their " Share Price " in
the " Political Stock Exchange " of
India
!
Congrats !
