As every body is telling that, dont vote for congress. I tell u what to do- Dont vote for any of the current sitting MLA/MP, just kick them out from their power. It will be biggest referendum in the democratic word. Reasons why I argue this are as follows: 1. Congress alone is not responsible; there was 100% agreement in parliament for this bill. So every body is culprit. 2. If vote out only congress- there comes other like-minded politicians- who will carry forward this process. 3. To stop this we have to scare them- They should understand that, they dont have faith of public any more.
Now if we do it, some body else will come in their place (as there is no clause in the voting system to reject all above). And the new person will have power for next five years. In starting they may not do it. But at the letter stages they may well put this bill again. What shell we do. 1. Ask the president to reform the voting system and include the option of "reject all above". 2. Ask the president to include the "Call back option" in voting system - Means if the person is not fulfilling his promises, what he made during election- the public will have option to call him back via negative votes. 3. Ask the president to cancel all privileges given to MP/MLAs, so that they will not misuse it. 4. Ask president to fix minimum qualification of at least graduate so that the people like Laloo etc. does not qualify for elections. 3. Support the independent, intellectuals to stand in Elections and ensure their victory. 4. Start ur local area parties and start cleansing of election system from the very foundation- from city councils to gram panchayts. 5. Support the parties like %u201CBharat Punanirman party%u201D so that people who are open minded may come forward and join politics and put this country on normal track. So I appeal every body- don%u2019t vote for any sitting MLA/MP. Kick all them out.

And to do this we should see it to implement Article 49-O which empowers the voter to vote for "None of the above Candidates", as we need to respect the constitution and our votes will not pave way for the thugs to vote for their candidates. Why govt., is not keen on implementing Article 49-O?

Why the the govt (read the politicians) wnat to implement this. They know that they will not win the next elections. So the demand should be given to president and PIL in SC. Thats is the idea. If any body in this forum is good enough advocate (ofcourse from SC bar), let him come forward to write this PIL and we all will support him.
