It is a good idea that is floating around. Let a referendum be made in the month of May 2008. And the Government replicate a scenario of April 2017 by making an eighteen-hours a day power cut in the entire months of April and May 2008.
Sreenivasan has given a ringside view of the entire episode. Issues of such an importance must be put into referendum and not through direct action of the government or of the Parliament. For that we have to set up a infrastructure mechanism so that the information can be collected without spending a lot of money. And the infrastructure thus created can be re-used several times. May be the suggestion is a little out of focus, but a thought process be on so that on a future date we have such a thing in place for opinion on several such issues.
