1. I was Loksabha -2009 candidate from Gandhinagar
I, Rahul Chimanbhai Mehta, is the founder of the Right of Recall Group, author of this website and also a co-author in many of the law-drafts I have proposed. I was also a candidate in Gandhinagar Loksabha Constituency for Loksabha-2009 election. I got 7309 votes out of 791,000 votes, about 1% of total . I was at forth position, the third position went to Mallikaben Sarabhai got 9300 votes, about 2000 votes more than I got. Needless to say, LKA won with over 54% votes. I was contesting to give publicity to Right to Recall and many other laws. The list of 70 laws is on this website. Now allow me to make a bold statement : 7300 votes means over 60000 to 70000 liked the proposals , but some 53,000 to 63,000 did not want Congress to win and so they still voted for BJP (or other way). Or they did not trust me because I was contesting for the first time and I am unknown fellow. And given that mere 100,000 voters saw the newspaper advertisements and barely 20000 got my pamphlets, 70,000 people liking my proposal is a big success for the agenda !!
The first few sections of this page explains my campaign and my proposal. The later section explains why I believe that over 60000 to 70000 did like my proposals. The next sections describe my campaign, and the later section describes the results of the election.
2. About myself and purpose of contesting election
I am 40 years old, never been married. I did my schooling in Central School Shahibaug and finished 12th class in 1986. I obtained 52nd rank in IIT-JEE-1986. I finished my B Tech in Computer Science from IIT Delhi in 1990, and then went to US in the same year. I did my MS in Computer Science at Rutgers University. After MS, I worked as software developer in US for several years and also studied US police, courts, Military, banking, money creation, administration etc for several years. I came back to India in Mar-1999 mainly because of my parents’ ailing health. And since then, except for a 2 month project in US, I have never left India. I had never applied for a green card, and so I do not have one. After coming from US in Mar-1999, I have been working as a part time software developer in Ahmedabad and also studying Indian courts, police, banking, money creation, administration etc.
The only reason for contesting election is to give publicity to some laws I want to get passed . Otherwise, it is well known that Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad are both highly polarized constituencies with over 95% voters voting for Congress or BJP because of fear that other bad guy may win if they vote for someone else. And I am contesting from Gandhinagar, not because it is a hot and famous seat but because I have been living in Ahmedabad since 1975 and its the only place in India where I have a base.
The entire focus of my “Right to Recall” Party and my campaign is the drafts of the laws we want to get passed. The next topics will describe some of these laws. Giving information about myself is necessary and so I have given my educational background etc. But I do not wish to campaign based on my much hyped IIT background or my being US returned. There are many in India, as intelligent as myself, but their parents could not provide them a good English medium school. And so they could not reach a prestigious college. I do not want to show my IIT badge and put them at unfair disadvantage. Nor do I want to brag “my coming back from US to serve India” punchline, because those who did not leave India are above me in this respect. Also, the Parliament is to enact laws, not a place to collect appealing characters with illustrious backgrounds. We need MPs to draft laws to run administration consisting of 1 cr junior employees, 5 lakh middle level employees and some 50000 senior employees. And so IMO, the activists should select the candidates based on the candidates have proposed, not based on their mere educational backgrounds or career. What good is all their background in Parliament if they cant write the laws to run India?
IMO, the activists of India must disregard all superficial details such as age, personal character, educational background, career etc and spend time to READ the draft of the laws candidate is proposing, and look at nothing else. Of course, the candidate must be non-criminal, must be a nationalist, must not have a divisive agenda like casteism – they are primary requirement. But once these requirements are met, the activists must focus on two things only
-
the bad laws the candidate opposes – give him plus point
-
the good law he drafted and supports – give him plus point
-
the bad laws he supports – give him minus point
-
the good laws and drafts he opposes – give him minus point
Henceforth, I would appeal all activists to focus on the laws I have proposed to improve India, and set aside my other good or bad details
3. Summary of important laws RRP demands
-
The MRCM Law : Enact laws so that the mineral royalties and land rent from GoI plots (such as Management Vastrapur plot, Nehru University plot, Airport plots etc) should directly to the Military and citizens. eg say rents from GoI plots and mineral royalties in Dec-2008 was Rs 45,000 crores. Then as per the law we proposed, Rs 15000 crores will go to the Military and about Rs 300 will go to each citizen in his post office or bank account. If every citizen withdraws cash once or twice a month, this would need no more than 400,000 clerks all over India. Existing nationalized banks have over 600,000 clerks. So the distribution is feasible. This law will improve Military and reduce poverty. So less poor Hindus will turn towards Christianity or Naxalism or both. And one year after this law passes, if 3rd child is born, then both the parents will get 33% less rent (those who already have 3rd child won't be effected). So this law will also control population.
-
Right to Recall : Enact procedures by which citizens can directly expel/replace PM, CM, judges, Police Chief, RBI Governor etc without waiting for 5 years and without any middlemen. This will reduce corruption in Govt and Courts. Also enact procedures by which citizens can block the transfer of an officer so that an honest officer can serve the citizens without pressure of Ministers. Today, corruption in US police and courts is less and the only reason is that citizens in US have procedure to expel District Police Chief, judges and Govt lawyers.
-
Enable citizens to change ration card shop and gas agency. Today, a citizen gets only 7 liters of kerosene out of 10 liters Govt gives to the shop, that too after standing in queue for hours. If the citizen has procedure to change the ration card shop, the shop-owner will deliver 10 liters to the citizen's home. If you have procedure to change the gas agency, the agency will call you after 21 days and deliver you the cylinder.
-
Create 3, 5 kilo cooking gas cylinders, so that a poor person who doesnt have Rs 320 upfront can also afford it.
-
The MTMT Law : If a citizen registers affidavit at Collector's office, the Collector shall put it on websites of PM, CM for a fee. Any citizen can register Yes-No on any affidavit by paying Rs 3 fee at Talati's (Patwari's) office. The citizen's Yes-No will also come on the PM's website with his voter-ID. (MTMT means “Makkal Theerpu Mahesan Theerpu” which is an over 2000 years old Tamil saying which means “Voice of People is Voice of God” and has same meaning as 2500 year old Latin saying “Vox Populi, Vox Dei” )
-
Reducing reservation with the support of poor SC, ST and OBCs : We have proposed a law, that gives choice to every SC, ST and OBC : he may opt for reservation as now or may opt for Rs 600/year per person. Now 80% backwards dont even reach 12th class and would prefer economic choice. So reservation will reduce from 50% to 10% and net reservation will reduce to 2-3%. And an SC, ST and OBC must first get seats from his quota and only after seats in his quota is filled will be given the seats in from the general quota.
-
Recruitments in Govt, Courts by written exams only. Abolish interviews to reduce nepotism, corruption.
-
Enact procedures so that citizens can directly appoint and expel PM, CMs. This is must to reduce the horse trading of MPs and MLAs. If you elect me as MP, I promise to select the PM strictly based on direct vote from the citizens of Ahmedabad. And I will pressurize every MP to do the same. The law that MPs will elect PM has created only corruption - it is time we end this law.
-
Abolish judge system and enact Jury System, so that nepotism, corruption and nexuses decreases.
-
Abolish 498A (dahejwala kanoon).
-
Enable citizens to change District Education Officer so that education in Govt schools improves. Enable citizens to change Municipal Commissioners so that he improves footpaths and he also put road dividers and speed breakers so that senior citizens can easily cross the roads.
-
Abolish VAT, service tax. Collect wealth tax of 1% over wealth over Rs 2 cr and collect inheritance tax of 45% over inheritance of over Rs 2 cr. And also collect tax of 2% over trusts with wealth over Rs 1 cr. Use this tax to improve Military, Polcie and Courts. This tax will also reduce costs of lands, flats and offices. This will increase industrialization and would increase employment.
4. What is Right to Recall
Right to Recall means procedures by which citizens can expel/replace PM, CM, judges, Police Chief etc. This system came in US in 1800 AD. Today, corruption in US police and courts is much less than India. And the only reason is that citizens in US have procedures by which they can replace Governors, Police Chief, judges, Govt lawyers etc. In Europe, Karl Marx had demanded Right to Recall in 1871. In India, 1946 M N Roy in his book "Draft Constitution of India" had put utmost emphasis on Right to Recall. M N Roy had said that that election alone without recall is of no use. Between 1960-77, Jayprakash Narayan demanded Right To Recall 100s of times. The 1977 Janata Party manifesto by which Advaniji and Vajpayeeji became Minister for the first time had promise of implementing the Right to Recall.
Many problems of India are because we citizens cant expel PM, CM, judges, Police Chief etc. eg :
-
In 2008, Jammu agitated for 6 months, Why? Because the plot given to Amarnath temple was taken back. Why did he dare to take back the land? Because we citizens of India dont have procedure to expel/replace PM
-
In 2008, two kids in Asaram's Ashram died. In Shilaj, a rich car owner killed 3 men in a hit and run. In both cases, the police ruined the investigation. Why did they dare to do so? Because we citizens dont have procedures to expel District Police Chiefs and we dont have procedures to stop his transfers.
-
How could our MP dare to praise Jinhah? Because we citizens of Ahmedabad dont have procedure to expel MP.
-
Why didn't Vajpayee in 1996 rename Ahmedabad to Karnavati? Because we didn't have procedure to expel MP.
5. Poverty
Poverty in India is increasing . The per capita pulse consumption in 1991 was 41g/day and in 2005 it was 31g/day , decrease of about 20%. The per capita grain consumption has decreased by about 5% in 17 years. The prices of medicine in past 17 years have gone up several times. The income of poor has not increased by same multiple. So poverty has increased. If the poverty does not decrease then too many poor Hindus will become Christian or Naxalites or both. This will cause severe damage to Hinduism, all Indians and India. So every pro-poor and every true Hinduvaadi must support the law that gives land rent and mineral royalties directly to the citizens. This will reduce the number of poor Hindus moving towards Christianity and Naxalism. We request you all voters to ask every candidate to add the MRCM law in their manifestos.
6. The most important ENs we demand
An EN (= Executive Notification) is sequence of instructions given by CM/PM to officers such as Collector, Talati etc. The first five most important ENs we have proposed and demanded are
-
If a citizen submits an affidavit to the Collector, the Collector must put it on the PM's website for Rs 20/page fee. And any citizen can go to Talati's office, pay Rs 3 fee and register his Yes-No on any of the affidavits. The citizen's Yes-No will also come on PM's website
-
Enact procedure to give 33% of mineral royalties and Govt land's rent to Military and deposit the rest 67% into the citizens’ bank/post accounts.
-
Enact procedure by which citizens can replace PM, CM
-
Enact procedure by which citizens can replace SC-Cj
-
Reducing reservation with the support of poor SC, ST and OBCs : The EN we have proposed gives a choice to every SC, ST and OBC : he may opt for reservation as now or may opt for Rs 600/year per person. Now 80% backwards dont even reach 12th class and would prefer economic choice. So reservation will reduce from 50% to 10% and net reservation will reduce to 2-3%.
7. The first Executive Notification we demand
| # | Officer | Procedure
| 1
| Collector
| If a citizen submits an affidavit to the Collector and demands to be put on PM’s website, the Collector will issue a serial number and put it on PM’s website for a fee of Rs 20 per page.
| 2
| Talati
| If a citizen comes with voter ID, and specified Yes-No on an affidavit submitted in cluase-1, the Talati will enter his Yes-No on the PM’s website with voter-ID and give a printed receipt for Rs 3 fee. The Talati will also allow citizen to change his Yes-No for Rs 3 fee. The fee will be Re 1 for BPL card holder
| 3
| -----
| The Yes-No count will not be a binding on PM, CMs, officers, judges etc. Though if over 37 crores citizens register Yes, then the PM may sign the EN proposed in that affidavit.
| |
Say this EN (= Executive Notification) is passed. Now next say, I or someone will submit affidavit demanding a law that mineral royalties and land rents from GoI plots be given to citizens. Now how many voters from bottom 70% of Indian population will say "gee, I dont want Rs 500/month, let all the money go to Govt"? Not even 2%. So from bottom 70%, some 98% voters will think "see, all I lose is Rs 3 and may be I gain Rs 3000 a year". Now say 50 cr voters pay Rs 3 and register YES. Then does the PM have any choice? No, he does not. If over 50 cr voters have paid Rs 3 and registered YES, then PM will have no choice but to sign the proposal in the affidavit within few days.
Now again, say this EN is passed. Then next day, I or someone will submit a proposal which enumerates a procedure by which citizens can replace District Police Chiefs. Now MLAs, CM may not like this proposal. Because if citizens get procedure to expel/replace District Police Chief, his “collection” will reduce to 2% of what is now, and this will also reduce the money MLAs, Home Minister and CM get from Police Chief. But once again, the citizens will think differently “do I lose anything more than Rs 3”? So once again, overwhelming number of citizens will approve the procedure by which citizens can expel/replace District Police Chief.
Same was, say this EN is passed. Next day, someone submits an affidavit to reduce reservation by paying 15% more on the mineral royalties to SC, ST and OBCs, with maximum of Rs 600 per year in lieu of reservation in jobs and collages. So how many of the poor SC, ST and OBCs oppose that law? Not even 1%. So once again, PM will not have much choice but to sign this law.
I request the reader to imagine the power of first EN. It has only 4 clauses, of which only first two are binding and next two are purely optional.
IOW, within 30 days after PM signs the first EN, the citizens will have the mineral royalties, land rents and also the recall rights, even though the 3rd clause uses the word “may” and not “shall”.
8. The second EN we demand
The second EN we have proposed is : Collect land rent from all GoI plots such as Management Vastrapur plot, Nehru University plot, Airport plots and give 33% to the Military and deposit 67% to the citizen's bank or post office accounts. And divide the mineral royalties in the same way - 33% to the Military and 67% into the citizens' bank or post office account.
This way, without any tax on rich, the income of the poor will increase. This law is capable of creating income of about Rs 300 to Rs 500 per person per month, and will also create an additional budget of Rs 150,000 for the Military. Every legal detail of the EN is given on our website www.rahulmehta.com
How much is land rent
The Govt of India, Central and States, have 10000s of plots with huge marker value. Here is a small example
| Plot Name | Area | Sq meter Price | Plot’s market value
| Management Ahmedabad
| 100 acres
| Rs 40,000
| Rs 1,400 crores
| Management Lukhnow
| 200 acres
| Rs 20,000
| Rs 1,600 crores
| Management Noida
| 10 acres
| Rs 50,000
| Rs 200 crores
| Management Kolkata
| 135 acres
| Rs 20,000
| Rs 1,000 crores
| Management Indore
| 190 acres
| Rs 15,000
| Rs 500 crores
| JNU
| 1000 acres
| Rs 40,000
| Rs 16,000 crores
| Vidyapeeth
| 25 acres
| Rs 40,000
| Rs 400 crores
| Gujarat Univ
| 250 acres
| Rs 35,000
| Rs 3,500 crores
| Ahmedabad Airport
| 1850 acres
| Rs 40,000
| Rs 29,600 crores
| Mumbai Airport
| 1100 acres
| Rs 100,000
| Rs 44,600 crores
| Delhi Airport
| 5000 acres
| Rs 100,000
| Rs 200,000 crores
| Banglr. Airport (new)
| 4050 acres
| Rs 10,000
| Rs 32,400 crores
| Banglr. Airport (old)
| 1000 acres
| Rs 100,000
| Rs 40,000 crores
| Calcutta Airport
| 1500 acres
| Rs 30,000
| Rs 18,000 crores
| Chennai Airport
| 4800 acres
| Rs 40,000
| Rs 76,800 crores
| TOTAL
|
|
| Rs 470,080 crores
| |
Rent of these plots at 3% of market value of plot = Rs 470,080 cr * 3/100 = Rs 14,100 cr year = Rs 120 per citizen per year. The Govt has about 50000 plots by one estimate. Even if rent from each plot is as small as Rs 0.10 per person per year on an average, the rent exceeds Rs 5000 per person per year. And estimate based on Jun-2008 prices for mineral royalty is : (For details, please see the manifesto given at link below) is : Crude oil : Rs 875 per citizen per year, Iron Ore : Rs 730 per citizen per year
9. The third EN - procedure by which citizens can replace PM
The 3rd EN we promise a procedure by which we citizens can replace PM, CMs without waiting for 5 years
-
Any citizen by paying fee equal to MP deposit can submit his name as PM candidate to CS (Cabinet Secretary).
-
Any citizen of India can walk to Talati's office, pay Rs 3 of fee, approve at most five persons for the PM position. The Talati will give him a receipt with his voter-id#, date/time and the persons he approved. The citizen can change his approvals any day for Rs 3 fee
-
The Talati will put citizen's preferences on Govt website with his voter-ID.
-
The CS will publish the approval counts of each candidate
-
If a person has over 24 crore approvals and is 2 crore more than approvals of the existing PM, then the existing PM may resign and the MPs may elect the person with the highest approval count as the new PM.
Today, PM and many CMs have become reckless because we citizens dont have procedures to expel him. As of now most CMs, PM know that they cant be expelled for 5 years and take us citizens for ride. The procedure to replace CMs, PM creates a mass pressure on the CMs, PM. But with this procedure, he may or may not get replaced, but the threat of replacement will ensure that behaves better than CMs, PM of today.
10. Forth demand - procedure by which citizens can replace SC-Cj
The biggest reasons why India ails is that we citizens cant replace judges and Ministers. The 4th proposed EN solves the former problem - it creates a procedure by which we citizens can replace the SC-Cj. The citizens can enact this procedure after asking PM to sign the first EN and then using first EN. The 3rd EN is as follows :
-
Any citizen can pay MP election deposit to CS (Cabinet Secretary) and register himself as a candidate for the position of NRJ (Nationally Recognized Jurist)
-
Any citizen-voter can pay Rs 3 of fee , and approve at most five persons for the NRJ position at Talati's office.
-
A citizen can cancel his approvals any day as well.
-
The approvals will go on till citizens cancels them
-
The approvals will come on PM's website with his voter ID
-
If a candidate gets approval of 37 crore voters and 1 cr more than approvals of existing SC-Cj, then the PM may ask all 25 SCjs to examine the Constitutional validity in appointing the NRJ as SC-Cj.
-
Even one SCj refuses the appointment then the PM may resign and all the Loksabha, Rajyasabha MPs too may resign and call for a new election.
11. Fifth demand - Reducing reservation with the support of poor SC, ST and OBCs
We have proposed an EN, that gives choice to every SC, ST and OBC : he may opt for reservation as now or may opt for Rs 600/year per person. Now 80% backwards cant even reach 12th class, and so they deem to get no benefit from Reservations in jobs or colleges. So they would prefer economic choice as in economic choice, they have Rs 600 to gain and nothing to lose. So with this law, the reservation will reduce from 50% to 10% and net reservation will reduce to 2-3%.
The money will come from usual taxes, such as wealth tax and inheritance tax. Lets say some 70 cr backwards take economic choice. In that case, the total expense will be Rs 4200 cr per month or Rs 50000 cr a year, which is less than 1.2% of GDP of India. IOW, spending about mere 1% of GDP will reduce the ethnic strife that the reservation issue has created.
I dont believe that money given is in vain – as SC, ST and OBC have less relatives in administration and courts to assist and guide them. Also SC, ST and OBCs own less much less lands and mineral mines. So a compensation of Rs 600/yr to reduce their backwardness is not uncalled for,
Another change we have proposed is that an SC, ST and OBC must first apply in his quota and then only he can apply in the general quota.
12. Other demands
The first five Executive Notifications we demand
-
The first EN we want has following parts
-
The collector would put citizen’s affidavit (if the citizen wants) on website of PM/CM for a fee
-
Talati would allow citizens to register YES/NO on any of these affidavits by paying Rs 3/- fee.
-
Talati would also allow citizens to change YES/NO for Rs 3 fee
-
If over 50% of all citizens have approved , then the CM, PM may pass the affidavit as EN
-
The collector would put citizen’s affidavit (if the citizen wants) on website of PM/CM for a fee
-
Enact procedures so that the royalties from mines and rents from Govt plots go as --- 1/3rd to Indian Military and 2/3rd amongst citizens of India
-
Enact procedures by which citizens can expel/replace CM, PM without waiting for 5 years
-
Enact procedure by which we commons can expel/replace the Supreme Court Chief judge if the need be, with the approval of existing SC-Cj.
-
Reducing reservation with the support of poor SC, ST and OBCs : We have proposed a law, that gives choice to every SC, ST and OBC : he may opt for reservation as now or may opt for Rs 600/year per person. Now 80% backwards dont even reach 12th class and would prefer economic choice. So reservation will reduce from 50% to 10% and net reservation will reduce to 2-3%.
Say Rs 30000 cr is collected in the month of say Dec-2008 from land rent from GoI plots and GoI mineral ores. Then as per the second EN, Rs 10,000 cr will go to the Military and Rs 200 will go to each of the 100 cr citizens. Essentially, each citizen will have an account in local SBI or post office, from where he can collect the cash once a month. If every citizen collects cash once a month, GoI will need no more than 400,000 clerks. Existing PSU banks have over 800,000 clerks. So giving mineral ore royalties and land rent to citizens is manageable.
More on the demand no. 3-5
Some eminent intellectuals have been wrongly campaigning that our drafts to materialize demands no. 3-5 are unconstitutional. They are all liars. The drafts are 100% Constitutional.
Blanket Commitment to Democracy
We will raise a mass movement asking the commons of India to force the CMs/PM to sign the first EN we cited above. After the first EN is signed, we MRCM-Recall activists, shall enact all the other 100-120 ENs we have proposed only by asking citizens to register YESes at Talati’s offices. We do not insist that citizens make us MPs to get the laws passed. And we shall never ever lobby before MPs, MLAs, CMs or PM after the PM/CM sign the first EN we demand. We will not stop MPs and MLAs of any party from enacting any of the laws we have proposed. But we will ask only the citizens to enact these laws.

15. Donations are prohibited
The MRCM-Recall is the first and only party in India which is Libertarian, pro-Military, pro-poor, pro-democracy and pro-recall. It is the first Party in India where in donations are prohibited , we only welcome direct activity contribution (such as newspaper advertisements, pamphlet distribution etc) from members. And we do not pay any volunteers or members.
16. Importance of drafts of the laws
We at MRCM-Recall party believe that every honest candidate must declare the drafts all laws he intends to pass to solve existing problems of India. We also believe that every citizen must ask for the drafts of the laws that the candidate intends to pass. The policy statements in manifesto without drafts are useless. The citizens after election cannot take draft to collector’s office or police station or court and demand the policies cited in the Manifesto. Inside the offices of collector and courts, what counts is the draft of Govt Orders and Ordinances Ministers sign. Which is why we have given full importance to drafts of the Govt Orders and zero value to “statements”, visions, goals, directions, directives etc. This website describes the first five and next 120 Govt Order we demand and promise.
17. Purposes of this website
-
The main purpose is to inform the citizens about the laws which can improve India and also inform the citizens about the wrong laws which are hurting India. The drafts of other important GOs we promise are on this website at All Drafts . If and when these GOs are signed by CMs/PM, they will create small changes in administration that shall solve all the problems of India that West has solved.
-
The website also contains Party's constitution and campaign structure in brief.
-
To ask citizens to write letter to CMs, PM to pass a Govt Order : Another important purpose of this website is to convince the citizens of India to ask and force the CMs and PM to sign a Govt Order. The description and the DRAFT of the Govt Order in chapter First Proposed Change . This Govt Order will bring one tiny change in the Indian administration, and that change will bring 100s of other small changes in and then many changes in areas of Indian administration such as police, courts, military, tax collection and would make changes in industry and economy, which would make India's technology, economy and military at par with West.
-
Culture is not the reason : One purpose of this website is to convince the fellow Indian citizens, that India's culture is NOT the reasons why India is ailing. The intellectuals have created this myth that India is ailing due to its culture, political culture etc, which also go by names of national character, moral values etc. This website has problem by problem proof, that for any problem that exists in India and not in West, culture is not even 1% of the reasons. A detailed analysis of causes of the problems in India is in the book titled as "Culture is not the reason". That book when published will be available freely from here
-
Then what are the reasons? : Another purpose of this website is to that the one and ONLY core reason why India ails is that the activists of India do NOT take interest in enacting changes in Indian administration that are less prone to nexuses and nepotism. And they keep wasting time in searching for Kalkies (good leader), Kalki Groups (good organizations), blame national character, blame culture, blame lack of moral values etc. So law that promote nepotism, nexuses stay. And so nepotism and nexus in legislatures, Ministries, IAS, IPS, judges, RBI etc is much higher than that in West. And so bad administrative procedures continue and good changes get delayed or never happen. To improve India, it is necessary and sufficient to enact changes in administration that are less prone to nepotism and nexuses. That's all -- we DO NOT need to curse culture, do not need to curse history, and do not at all need to give any moral education.
-
Explain why change Indian Administration is necessary : And one more purpose of this website (book) To convince the fellow Indian citizens that if we do not enact change sin administration that reduce the role of nexuses, our administration/courts will never improve. And without better courts and administration, economy, technology and military will also NOT improve. And if military does not improve, we will go the Iraq way i.e. West will devour India just as it devoured Iraq. So unless we bring changes in administration that would improve whole society as well the military, a repeat of 1757 and India becoming Iraq is imminent. In short, if Indians do not fix Indian Administration, India is going the Iraq way.
18. Party Name
This is the website of our MRCM-Recall party. We plan to register the Part with Election Commission in about Aug-2009. The registration name of the party will be “Right to Recall PM, CMs, judges” Party and 4 other common street names will be “Right to Recall Party”, MRCM-Recall Party, MRCM-Jury party and “The First Libertarian Party of India”. MRCM means 'Mine Royalties (and land rent) for Citizens and Military' and Recall means procedures by which commons can replace officials like PM, CM, Supreme Court Chief judge, all judges, District Police Chiefs, RBI Governor etc. This website has DRAFTS of all the laws we are proposing and other information about the Party.
Our weekly meetings
