Seems that senior BJP leader Mr. LK Advani met the most revered Finance Minister, Mr. Mukherjee last week and wanted the Congress to introduce a bill mandating fixed terms for the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. He offered full support of the opposition if such a bill is introduced. This is terrifying. If both government and opposition gangs of politicians are united behind such a proposition then it has to be suicidal for the country. If you have different gangs wanting power so that they are free to loot the people then you expect them to be fighting each other like street dogs in a garbage dump. If they are suddenly getting all lovey dovey and cooperative then that has to be the worst news any Indian wants to hear. As an Indian citizen I would like my opinion to be taken into account. 1. There should be a referendum on the subject and people like us should be allowed to address the public. 2. If there is to be fixed terms so that a bunch of scoundrels is entrenched for a number of years then there should be fixed terms for all elected criminals. This will mean that anyone can be an MP or an MLA for only two terms and no more. 3. We must have citizens corporations without any criminal politician or thieving civil servant to protect the interest of the people. 4. At every elections there will be a question on the performance of the previous government and if the people give poor marks the previous politicians will be forced to return every paisa spent on his or her expense. 5. We must have a district attorney system to investigate crimes properly. Police and CBI must be independent. Will words stop the criminals? Who knows?
