Sub: Systemic Change
Sir,
We draw your kind attention to your speech at Ramlila
Grounds, New Delhi last month on
the subject. We consider following steps would be necessary for INC to start
this process.
1. INC as the largest political party could take the
initiative to select at least 50% of its candidates for General Election 2014
through a party primary(party members would cast their vote among all
aspiring candidates of the constituency and the winner would get the Party
Ticket) to contest in each parliamentary constituency. This also could
settle party leaderships concern on winability partially. In the words of Farid
Zachariah “when there is danger/too much of a problem in democracy, solution
lies in More Democracy”.
2. INC could also attempt to collect its election funds from
individuals (small donations) in stead of Organizations who may have an agenda
of their own and later they would demand a pound of flesh in terms of Govt.
policies. This could draw ‘middle class’ into mainstream politics. Barak Obama
just proved how a large campaign could be unleashed successfully through small
donations and volunteers.
3. INC also could attempt to field 25-33% Women and 35-55%
of Young people (25-55 yrs of age) in the general election. The systemic change
could begin in-house from INC followed by other parties.
Kind regards,
Bikash Choudhury
