When we already know deep inside that this is all wishful thinking and fantasy, why do we continue with it ? The old IAC of Arvind Kejriwal, Bhushans Anna Hazare etc were running a business of feeding and nurturing such false hope, expectations and illusions.
The new IAC is honest - we respect your intelligence, and expects out-of-the-box thinking with action oriented trigger points and measurable goals to get the GOVERNMENT to eliminate corruption. .
The point we are repeatedly making is that it is NOT the job of citizens to do the Government's job. It is our duty as citizens to monitor them (Govt) and kick them when they start lagging behind. (The Govt makes it a regular practice to get the wrong people to do the wrong jobs).
Forget all the meaningless distracting crap about laws, legislatures, Parliaments, political parties, elections, voters, terms in office etc. FOCUS on making your Government work for YOU !

I think the points raised by Prof PVS Rao have been completely missed. There are numerous good ideas on what can be done to improve the democratic process, and many of these have been aired on these columns. I am sure there are a lot more. The real problem is not on finding out what can be done but how any of these ideas can be initiated. Without disrupting the democratic process, none of these ideas can be initiated by anybody who is is not a party to the process, viz., members of the legislative bodies, be it at the state or national level. And these honourable members are not likely to take any of these suggestions and follow up on them seriously as all these measures go against the grain of their interests in wanting hold on to the powers vested in these positions and the opportunities that lie in the exercise of these powers
What we need to do is evolve the methodologies that would provide us the lever to at least get a toehold in getting our voices heard and acted upon. I do not have the magic wand to open this access. However, I am sure that an open discussion on these lines can throw up hundreds of apparently stupid and impractical ideas but among these there can be one brilliant idea that can indeed work to get the job done
We have to first get to where our thoughts and ideas can constructively work rather than just keep airing what needs to be done when we get thereProf Rao had even mentioned he has a methodology for making it work, but probably feels the the present mood is not appropriate for him to reveal it now. May be we can create the conducive platform where these ideas can be discussed ?
Regards & best wishes and without offense to any who have participated in these discussions
