Lets change representative of people act. And make it truly representative of people.
As of now, you can not do anything if a person, elected by you is not fulfilling his agenda or going back on his words.
There should not be any political party.
The new system should be as follows:
1. There should be local election (like WARD, PANCHAYAT) without involving any political party. benefit of it is local people knows the candidates better as they are from their locality.
2. Elected representative of these wards, panchayat will elect a Mayor among them, with at least 51% votes. All the votes should be open. Means who have voted for and who against.
3. These elected mayors will select the CM of State among them. Again same principle of open voting is applicable.
4. The elected CMs will elect one PM among them. again open voting is applicable.
Now lets put recall-voting principle in place, if a local ward/panchayt member is recalled. And if he is voted for the favor of that mayor (lets assume that mayor has won with 1 extra vote only), that mayor is stands as recalled; Same is applicable to CMs, PM.

5. Now if you think that, the ward representative has elected wrong Mayor and subsequently CM and PM or his policies are not correct, you may recall that representative. But in this case there will be no general election. Only a voting in respective house will be enough. We will save lot of money and will make these people more accountable.
6. Now come the mater of cabinet. None of the elected people will be eligible for minister%u2019s post. There will be outsiders, with professional qualifications on their CVs, who will contest the Ministerial election. And will be elected through open voting system of parliament.
7. The Lower house of parliament will be represented by mayors. There will be committees for different issues. One person among the mayors will be its chairmen. The composition of these committees will be elected by open voting system of parliament.
8. There will be upper house of parliament. Which will be represented by all the CMs of states as well as people elected through teachers groups, doctors groups etc.
Well this was the principle followed in Rom as well as Old Indian system. I think this is true democracy with less expenditure.
