Senior BJP leader L.K. Advani, Sushma Swaraj and Arun Jaitley after submitting memorandum to the President of India over ordinance on convicted PMs and MLAs at Rashtrapati Bhawan, New Delhi.
Yesterday , I wrote about “ Sad Day / Bad Day / Mad Day “ , not knowing that by evening , it will turn into a “ Glad Day “ ! “ Glad Day “ for 2 reasons :
Late in the afternoon , in a press-meet , Rahul Gandhi said,
“ My opinion on the ordinance is that it is completely nonsense and it should be torn up and thrown out. I personally feel , that what our Government has done as far as this ordinance is concerned, is wrong “
Supreme Court said,
“ The voter has the right to negative voting by rejecting all the candidates in the fray by exercising the option of ‘ none of the above ‘ in the EVMs and ballot papers “
Now only if the politicians ( whether clean or tainted )
dare to meet the people of their constituencies
care to ask them what are their further “ Expectations “
voters will tell them , ( Citizen’s Charter of Demand ? ),
Scrap the ordinance / bill pending in the Standing Committee. Based on Supreme Court verdict , prevent convicted MPs / MLAs from attending Lok Sabha / State Legislatures
Scrap amendment to RTI Act , which keeps the political parties outside its purview
Accept all donations / contributions to a political party by cheque only ( irrespective of the amount ) and display these on your web sites , along with quarterly statement of all expenditures
Display on your web site complete declaration ( financial as well as criminal ) of each candidate / elected MP / MLA , filed with Election Commission – and every year , if elected
Pass the Jan-LokPal bill ( Anna Hazare version ) before the 2014 elections
By owning-up the “ mistake “ committed by UPA Government ( as far as the Ordinance is concerned ) , not only Rahul Gandhi showed unprecedented moral courage ( could be political hara-kiri ? ) , he has silenced / disarmed his critics and won over millions of young admirers
If only he continues to display similar “ Courage “ in respect of what I have listed above , I have no doubt , on its own , Congress will win 300+ seats in the 2014 National Elections
Rahul, Remember , your “ Pre-Poll Actions “ on the ground will send a powerful “ Message of Hope “ to the disillusioned / frustrated youth of India
Neither Narendra Modi , nor Arvind Kejriwal will be able to match such a challenge !
Glad Day ?
