Campaigning for next month's general elections Tory leader David Cameron has promised to end the feeling among MPs that ' they are entitled '. That is the cancer eating at the heart of India today. Criminal politicians feel they are entitled to do whatever they like for as long as they can lie, bribe and kill their way to election victory. We desperately need a charter for citizens such as 1. Number of ministers must never be more than a fixed number. 2. Numbers of uncivil servants must be 20% of what they are now. 3. There must be term limits which may never be extended. 4. Family members of any politicians will be barred from standing. We cannot afford a filthy stinking old man hanging on at state level while his criminal sons and nephews are occupying various posts and looting billions. 5. No politician or government official will be allowed in the Rajya Sabha. 6. Eliminate all state governments and municipalities which will instantly reduce the looting by 95%. Divide the country into roughly equal districts and distribute tax earnings equally. That will be equitable, eliminate jealousy and by allowing local people to spend money on their own development will immediately destroy the support base of the Naxals. 7. The government's main function will be external and internal security and politicians or uncivil servants will not be allowed to interfere in sports, education, business and other aspects of life. Parliament will lay down basic laws and the government will strictly monitor performance and punish wrongdoers. 8. Strict time limits on uncivil servants to do what a citizen asks for or heavy fines. 9. Citizens corporations to monitor performance. A few needs if the country is to survive.
