Comments on: India’s “armchair advisers” join Facebook http://blogs.reuters.com/india/2011/02/02/indias-armchair-advisers-join-facebook/ Perspectives on South Asian politics Fri, 17 May 2013 05:29:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: crusadersbuckup http://blogs.reuters.com/india/2011/02/02/indias-armchair-advisers-join-facebook/comment-page-1/#comment-17265 crusadersbuckup Tue, 22 Mar 2011 07:49:50 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/india/?p=4267#comment-17265 The right to ELECT has handicapped us. We need right to EVICT also. We are forced to open an inlet with no emergency outlet. Time to call fire brigade. If we had it we could have curbed scandals like the commonwealth, adarsh housing, bellary mines and 2G much earlier than the government took time. Meanwhile, the delay made us poorer. Thus hampering the next five year plan. ELECT+EVICT=DEMOCRACY. Now, we have to spend more to investigate, document and then try scamsters. and then emerge from such setbacks involving valuable time. Allegations raised during legislature are shunned saying 'LAW WILL TAKE IT'S OWN COURSE'. When the judiciary sincerely and genuinely does its duty they say 'it's unfair for judiciary to interfere in governance'. The drum is being beaten both ways at convenience.

If they are serious about taking people's views into account a lot can be achieved. Right now it appears the Planning Commission seems to be overshadowed by the super cabinet - the NAC. Where that august body fits into the scheme of things is a mystery to me. It actually makes the Planning Commission reduntant. I think this idea deserves a fair trial.

The Ministry of External Affairs started off this interactive venture with their Twitter account but I guess Facebook is a better way to reach out to Indians. Hoping more such plans bear fruit.
