6.1 How 3 line law reduces corruption in PM, CM, judges, Police Chief etc in 4 months?
The day citizens manage to force PM to enact RTI2 Gazette Notification, I will submit drafts for Right to Recall PM, Right to Recall CM, Right to Recall Supreme Court judges, RTR HCjs, RTR RBI Governor, RTR District Police Chief etc. as affidavits. I believe that crores of citizens will register YES on these affidavits and so the PM, CMs will be forced to add these RTR law-drafts in the Gazette Notification. Thus using three line law, we can bring Right to Recall laws in India. And Right to Recall will create a threat that will reduce these officials to reduce their bribe intake in one month. So if RTR-activists focus on RTI2, then corruption in PM, CMs etc can be brought down within months, without getting even one MP elected.
If RTR-activists insist on waiting till they get majority in Parliament and then enacting RTR laws, then there is possibility that RTR-activists will be waiting for ever. First they may never get majority in Parliament. And worse, even if they get majority, there is possibility that their “own” MPs will sell out and refuse to pass RTR laws. Eg in 1977, Janata Party MPs had promised to pass RTR laws before election, and after getting elected, later they refused to pass RTR laws. So IMO, RTR-activists should focus on creating mass movement on RTI2 rather than elections.
==========
6.2 Description of Right to Recall PM draft
The third GN we demand is to create procedure using which we commons can replace PM without waiting for 5 long years. Following are the main points of the proposed draft :-
6.3 Numerical explanations about the proposed procedures to replace PM, CMs
Say India has 75 crore voters. Then the replacement as per above procedure may happen if 1.5 crores voters more than existing approval count existing PM has approve a new person. To give an example, the PM of 2009 had support of about 300 MPs whose votes add up to about 18 crores. So as per the proposed procedure, if and when over 19 crores citizens approve another person, the next person shall become new PM.
============
6.4 Description of Right to Recall CM draft
RTR-CM is creates a procedure using which we commons can replace CM without waiting for 5 years
6.5 Will PM, CMs get replaced every week? NO
In most companies, employers have power to fire employees and that does not mean that employers fire employees every day. Worse, most employers look for stable employees and resort to expulsion only when they make some terrible deliberate damage. The citizens will use this procedure not to expel a CM they dislike and not even to expel a CM who had made mistakes. They will use it only when they think that CM, PM is outrightly corrupt and anti-citizen. It takes intense hatred to think of expulsion and such hatred will come only from blatant back-stabbing, not some minor errors.
US has procedure of expulsion for Governors in about 20 states. Those states must have seen about 20*100/4 = about 500 Governors in past 100 years. How many faced recall? Only 2. So the mechanism has not created any instability. But has acted as a latent threat on all Governors of US which is one important reasons why they have been less corrupt than CMs of India.
===============
6.6 Right to Recall PM draft
Cost estimates for Right to Recall PM
Say 75 crore citizens desire to file approval for PM. Then cost they have to pay Rs 3 per approval, and so total cost is about Rs 225 cr. And once the procedure is implemented via ATM and SMS, the costs reduce to few paise per approval. So cost of replacing PM will then drop to less than few crores.
======
6.7 What if PM, MPs do not obey citizens?
One may ask – what if PM and MPs do not follow the clause-7, clause-8 of the above proposed GN? Well, if a huge % all voters have approved a person via explicit registration, it would be end of PM’s and MPs’ political (and real) lives if they refuse to appoint the approved person as PM. We would like to confine discussions within politically realistic scenarios, and MPs overruling explicit proven written political demand of over such huge % of voters is an unrealistic situation.
=======
6.8 Please note the last two clauses of the RTR-PM law I have proposed
Please note the last two clauses of the draft proposed above. These two clauses are nothing but RTI2. Well, every draft of mine has these two lines. Why this repetition? Because I want to repeat, re-repeat and re-re-repeat 1000s of times that we the commons of India have right to register difference on GoI books and so we must have procedure to register differences. The symbolism apart, the repetition has political value. It may happen that an RTR activist has to confront a person who is opposed proposed RTR law. Then RTR-activist can challenge him to provide the drafts of the laws they want, and then ask them to add the same two last lines. If the adversary opposes the last two lines’ additions, then he can be accused of being anti-common. And if he accepts these two line addition, then effectively his law implements RTI2, using which all laws I have proposed can be implemented using citizens’ YESes.
The two line addition shows that “demand for RTI2” is not just clone positive concept but RTI2 is a law that can be added to any democratic law without decreasing its effect. And the two line addition is sufficient to thwart any undemocratic law. Because if an undemocratic law has these two lines, it will get rejected in few days or weeks.
The last two lines also shows the fact that so called RTI2 is what I call as “Perfect Antidote” to all poisons. What is “Perfect Antidote”? A Perfect Antidote is something that if added to a glass of liquid, it will do no harm and will destroy any and all poisons in that glass. These two clauses of RTI2 are something that can gel well with every law. And they have capacity that if the law is good, they would do no harm and if the law is bad, the two clauses will ensure that citizens can remove that law. Thus, these two clauses of RTI2 is what I call as “Perfect Antidote”.

6.9 Draft of Right to Recall CM
===========
6.10 What if CM, MLAs do not obey citizens?
One may ask – what if CM, MLAs do not follow the clause-7, clause-8 of the above proposed Gazette Notifications? Well, if a huge % all voters have approved a person via explicit registration, it would be end of MLAs’ and CM’s political (and real) lives if they refuse to appoint the approved person as CM. I would like to confine discussions within politically realistic scenarios, and MLAs overruling explicit proven written political demand of over such huge % of voters is an unrealistic situation.

6.11 Draft of Right to recall City Mayor
============
6.12 To those who oppose RTR over PM, CM, Mayor
We request them to send us draft of the procedures by which citizens can replace PM, CMs if they think their drafts are better than mine. If that is the case, I shall cancel our drafts and accept theirs. And if one believes that we commons should have no procedures to replace PM, CM etc we request him not to register YES when I file PM-RP, CM-RP and Mayor-RP affidavits after RTI2 is signed. Finally, decision is to be taken by YESes of citizens, not by me.
=========
6.13 The effect of RTR drafts
The Right to Recall PM, CM, judges etc gives enormous power to citizens over CMs and PM. Till now, we have CMs , PM with mass base but no mass pressure. The procedure to replace CMs, PM creates a mass pressure on the CMs, PM. As of now most CMs, PM know that they cant be expelled for 5 years and take the citizens for ride. 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. To enact this procedures, the citizens need not us MRCM party candidates as MPs and MLAs. they can force existing PM and CMs to enact the first two MRCM Demands. Then using the second Govt Order, we intend to enact the Fifth Govt Order.
We at MRCM-Recall party has proposed similar procedure by which citizens will be able to replace following officials
Positions over with RRG has proposed, demanded Right to Recall (as on Apr-28-2010)
(* - means new position )
The list is as on May-07-2010. The list only increases, does not decrease.
========
6.14 How these replacement procedures reduce corruption?
One question I often face is --- existing officers are corrupt and so the new replacements will be also equally corrupt. So how will replacements reduce corruption, nepotism etc? I shall enumerate the process using examples of District Education Officer.
First, I have proposed drafts such as Imprisonment by Majority Voting and Execution by Majority Voting. This draft will apply only on those Ministers, IAS, IPS, judges who have accepted this procedure as 100% ethical and 100% Constitutional. All clauses in these drafts are 100% Constitutional and 100% ethical. Using these drafts, the citizens can imprison or even execute a corrupt Minister, IAS, IPS, judge, who has declared this draft as ethical. And what about those Ministers, judges etc who think that “Execution by Majority Vote” is less than 100% Constitutional and/or less than 100% ethical. Well, RTR gives citizens an option to expel all those IAS, IPS, Ministers, judges who think that “Execution by Majority Vote” is unethical. So now administration consists of officers who can be executed by majority vote. Given the threat of execution, these officers will not dare to take too much bribes. Now these procedure to Execute by Majority Vote has only campaign value. Because RTR will be sufficient to control corruption, and citizens will never need to invoke Execution by Majority Vote. I have explained how RTR will be sufficient in next paragraphs.
Consider the position of District Education Officer in-charge of schools in District. I at RRG have proposed Right to Recall DEO – a 10 clause procedure by which the citizens (parents) of district can replace DEO. How would RTR-DEO improve DEO? First, the threat of prompt replacement alone would force him to reduce corruption. But that does not do much. At the end, we want a DEO who is not interested in corruption to begin with, not someone who is reducing corruption because of threat of replacement. How does RTR-DEO in six months provide hundreds of DEOs who are not interested in corruption at all? I will explain the process of how RTR-DEO will accomplish that.
There are about 700 DEOs in India. All 700 are intelligent, capable and efficient. And out of them about say about 10-15 are not interested in corruption. That asset is what we already have. Now my RTR-DEO procedure has one more clause --- that if an officer is appointed as DEO by CM, he can be DEO of only one district ; but if citizens have made him DEO, he can be DEO of up to 5 districts in State and up to 10 districts in India. And he would get salaries of all those districts i.e. if a person is DEO of 4 districts and has been appointed by citizens, then his salary will be 4 times. This is cheaper as only salary becomes 4 times, medical benefits, other benegits and many lifelong benefits do not become 4 times. And a later modification makes this feature of “horizontal promotion” or “horizontal expansion” more radical --- the salary will become (N * Log2N) times where N is number of Districts he obtains via citizens’ approvals. Further, a person will be entitled to hold several positions across departments i.e. he may be DEO of 10 districts and also become District Health Officer of 10 districts with some limits. In addition, there is provision for vertical rise i.e. if he serves as District Prosecutors of several Districts, his chances of becoming State Prosecutors of one and more States increases.
So out of existing 700 DEOs, say 5-15 are non-corrupt. Once RTR-DEO comes, they will see an opportunity to do well as well as expand horizontally as well as vertically. The will start introducing positive changes in the schools in their districts. They will stop middle officers from taking bribes, they will ensure that contractors are putting furniture like blackboard, chairs etc in schools. They will ensure that teachers do attend schools etc. And when they do so, they will no longer give hafta to CMs. Now lets say in all cases CMs transfer them. Then out of 7-15 such cases, in at least 2-5 cases, the parents in order to save their kids’ education will bring that officer back using RTR-DEO.
So that would improve education in 2-5 districts out of 700 districts of India. What about the rest? Well, say you are living in district-A. Now say that DEO of A is corrupt and inefficient. Say there are 5 near by districts B, C D, E and X. Say district X alone has good DEO. Then citizens of district-A now have a choice – they can expel DEO of their district and give double charge of DEO of X. This very choice and power, that “citizens can now expel me using RTR and bring DEO of X in my place” will create a threat in the minds of DEO of A, B, C, D and E. So either they will all improve within 2-3 months, or citizens will expel them using RTR and replace him with DEO of X. And within 8-10 months, all 700 DEOs will improve or face expulsion.
And within 10-20 months, the officers with “get rich quick” and “hell with citizens” mentality from will start leaving administration, and will no longer join administration. So those who want to serve will have now more room and less corrupt people who will interfere..
The existing Govt procedures have a flaw that salary etc of an honest person does not double if he does twice the work, a phenomenon common in business. This de-motivates honest people from joining Govt. The RTR procedures I have proposed enable officers to hold multiple chairs and gain more salaries. This will increase the inflow of honest as well as enterprising persons into Govt.
I have proposed RTR over not just District Education Officers, but also over District Health Officer, District Police Chief, District Supply Officer (in charge of rationing) etc. I have proposed RTR over some 30-50 District level positions including district judges. So there are about 700 districts and so RTR will apply on about 30000 officers, judges. The day RTR comes, some 15000 will improve within 24 hours. And when mere 2-5 officers get expelled in India in district in first month, the remaining 15000 across India will also improve. IOW, RTR will not require citizens to expel even 50 out of 30000 officers. Expulsion of just 2-3 officers will serve as enough warning for the rest. So RTR will not create any instability at all.
Same way, I have proposed RTR State Govt level positions and Central Govt positions such as CM, PM, Ministers, HCjs, SCjs etc. In some cases, they will continue. In some cases they will get expelled and replaced by better persons in their level or lower levels.
=========
6.15 RTR and common sense
Many accuse me of being pro-American and also accuse me of copying American system blindly. Well, first I am not pro-America at all – I am highly anti-America and I believe that US is the biggest enemy of India. US elitemen not only want to grab all the minerals of India but also want to impose Christianity using force and “10% genocide” if the need be. So I am not pro-America at all. But IMO we must understand factors that gave such strength to US, and RTR is one of the core strength-givers. RTR has created a low-corruption administration in US, which has made US so strong a country with so strong Military that it can not only take over oil wells of other countries, but can also force them to convert to Christianity. E.g. Iraq. So when I talk about RTR in US, I am only using US as example. I am not pro-American at all.
RTR is not from US. RTR is plain common sense. Say you have servants at home such as cook or person to clean utensils or sweep floors or take care of elderly parents etc. Do you have power to expel them? Say Govt makes a rule that you can pick any servant, but you can expel him only after a court order not otherwise. And money will get deducted from your account and will get deposited into his account for next five years. And only he can work in your home, no other servant will come for next 5 years. Then what will be your situation wrt to the servant? He will become your master and you will become his servant. Same is the situation of citizens. Every Govt employee from SC-Cj to peon in local office is “public servant”. But since citizens don’t have procedures to expel them, they have become “public masters”. Just as shareholders have procedures to expel CEO, Directors, senior managers etc – RTR over PM, CMs, SCjs, HCjs etc is same common sense. I often feel stupid that I understood RTR only after studying US and Indian administration in depth and found only trivial factor such as RTR which is what I should have thought of on the day one. “How stupid of me, that I didn’t think of it before” – is the only feeling I get when I look back.
=====
6.16 RTR and Atharvaved, Satyarth Prakash
Right to Recall is also mentioned in Atharvaved. Atharvaved says that Sabha , assembly of all citizens, can expel the King. Maharshi Dayanand Saraswatijee in chap-6 of Satyarth Prakash explain the Raj-Dharm, and in the first 5 sholkas, Maharshi says – Raja must be “Prajaa-aadhin” i.e. dependent on commons. And in the next shloka, Maharshi says that if Raja is not Prajaa-aadhin, then such a Raja would enter into the nation, rob the citizens and just as a carnivorous animal eats away the other animals, such Raja who is not Prajaa-aadhin would eat and destroy the nation. And Maharshi Saraswatijee has taken both shlokas from Atharvved. And please note – word Raja here includes all Raj-Karmachari i.e. employees of Govt from Supreme Court Chief judge to Patwari. All employees of Govt must be Prajaa-aadhin, or they will rob the citizens – so say the sages who wrote Atharvaved, and Maharshi Dayanand Saraswatijee agrees with those sages, and I also agree with those sages. How can we commons make Raja and all Raj-Karmachari “Prajaa-Aadhin”? Well, RTR PM, RTR Supreme Court judges, RTR CM are some ways I suggest. And please note – Dayanand Saraswatijee does speak about BandharaNa-aadheen Raja, he talks about Prajaa-aadheen Raja. So answering the question “why policemen in US are less corrupt than in India”, in the words of Atharvaved and Maharshi Saraswatijee, the reason is that the Police Chief in US is Prajaa-Aadheen while in the one in India is not Prajaa-aadheen at all. And Atharvaved and Maharshi Saraswatijee say that if the Raja (or Raj Karmachari such as Police Chief) is not Prajaa-aadheen, he will rob the citizens. We see that all the time. And not just District Police Chief, in US, Governor, MLA, District judge, District Education Officer, District Public Prosecutor, and in some states, even High Court Chief judge is Prajaa-aadheen. And so these Govt employee’s robbery is negligible.
In India, the intellectuals with 4 digit IQ have insisted opposite of what Atharvaved and Satyarth Prakash say. The intellectuals with 4 digit IQ say that Raja and Raj-Karmachari i.e. Govt employees should not be Prajaa-aadheen but should be only be BandharaNa-aadheen i.e. dependent on Constitution only. This whole concept of BandharaNa-Aadheen Raja i.e. BandharaNa-aadheen Ministers, officers, policemen and judges is bogus as BandharaNa’s interpretation can be twisted by judges, Ministers etc like a piece of wax.
========
6.17 West has no RTR-PM, RTR-SCj. So why do we need it?
I have been campaigning for the recall procedures by which we commons can expel PM, CMs and judges. All eminent intellectuals have opposed this demand and tried tooth and nail to show that Gazette Notifications I have proposed are unconstitutional. Having miserably failed, they say “West does not have this procedures and so why should India we have such procedures?”
Well, citizens in US do have procedures by which citizens can expel District level authorities. And the citizens in US also have procedures to expel Governor in about 20 states. In the remaining 30 states, the Governors know that if they misbehave, then citizens are capable of creating a procedure to expel them and then use that procedure to expel him. So while 20 Governors in US have explicit threat of expulsion by commons, the remaining 30 face the same threat implicitly.
Nevertheless, a question remains : the citizens of US dont have procedure to expel President and Senators at National level. Yet, in 1929 when millions or Americans lost jobs, the Senators, President and American elitemen enacted many laws such as 70% income tax, 70% inheritance tax and used these laws to collect funds necessary to implement welfare and employment schemes. How could such pro-common actions happened from US Federal Govt even though there is no recall at Federal level? Because in 1929, over 70% of Americans has guns. The welfare state in US and Europe came in 1930s via an “armed peaceful revolution”. This may sound contradictory, but it is not. In Russia only 10% to 15% population had weapons and so Czar could think of suppressing them; he tried and so there was an armed revolution. But in US and UK over 70% of adults had weapons. And the elitemen could see that suppression was not option even if all policemen and soldiers are deployed. And example of Russian Revolution of 1917 was before them and was too fresh in their memories. So the American elitemen in 1932-1936 agreed to give 40% to 70% of their income as income tax and agreed to give 40% to 70% of their wealth as inheritance tax upon death to implement welfare and employment schemes. This was no goodwill, but a way to save remaining 30% or income and 30% of wealth from armed citizenry. IOW, the welfare state was result of an armed peaceful revolution.
The leaders, eminent intellectuals and elitemen worry of only two things : recall and guns and nothing else. They dont fear loss of face, loss of reputation, they dont give a damn about inner voice, they dont care about miseries of us dying commons. E.g. in 1940s, even 40 lakh commons starved to death, the eminent intellectuals and elitemen used to eat and drink lavishly and did not bother. Even today, when per capita pulse consumption decreased by 25% and per capita grain consumption decreased by 10% in 1991-2008, you see leaders, intellectuals and elitemen demanding more IITs, more IIMs, more JNU, more UGC, more flyways, more skyways, more airports, better airports, better ports, more SEZs etc. When you talk about lakhs of infants dying each year for want of medicine/food barely worth Rs 1000 per year, the leaders, intellectuals and elitemen of India talk about Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization, Rising India, Shining India, Feel Good Factor, Incredible India, 8% growth rate group song. If Rome has one Nero, over 98% of leaders, intellectuals and elitemen of India are Nero. The American elitemen did not show such Nerogiri as 70% commons had guns. The Indian leaders, intellectuals and elitemen act like Nero as not even 2% commons in bottom 95% of commons have guns. So “Let them starve and let us cherish” is the motto of Indian elitemen, Indian leaders and Indian eminent intellectuals.
So Americans had recall at District/State level and not National level. But an armed citizenry acted as surrogate of recall at National level. We in India do not have armed citizenry. There are people like Naxals who believe that weapons are ONLY way to get rid of poverty. I support weaponization of us commons, but insist on “Right to Recall” to solve the poverty problem, and not use of weapons as the primary method. The commons might starve to death as they did in 1940s in Bengal or they might use weapons as in Russia in 1916 or threat of use of weapons may create a welfare state as it did in 1932 in USA. But those are the ways I would not suggest as of now. I want to try the “Right To Recall” way rather than use weapons against leaders, intellectuals and elitemen.
So re-answering the question : How come citizens’ plight in West improved in 1932-39 despite no recall procedures at National level? Answer is : because 70% of Americans had guns. As of now, bottom 98% of Indians do not have guns. I do want a Swiss like India, where 100% citizens have guns, but that is to protect India from possible invasion of Pakistan, China, USUK etc, not to solve poverty, corruption problem issue. For poverty, corruption problem, I prefer use of “Right To Recall PM, CM, judges etc”
Summarizing : West did not need recall at National level as they had armed citizenry. We do not have armed citizenry as of now, and so we have to have recall procedures at National, State and District levels.

6.18 How can YOU help in bringing RTR-PM law in India?
Please read chap-13 of this book http://rahulmehta.com/301.pdf . It has several steps where-in you can spend 4 hours a week and help to bring Right to Recall law-drafts in India.
==========
6.19 Countering anti-recall arguments
West improved because of expulsion procedures (Juries or recall procedures) and because citizenry was armed to teeth. These were the ONLY two sources of improvement of the citizens of West. And Indian intellectuals have opposed both., i.e. they have opposed arming citizenry of India as well as they have opposed recall/Jury. IOW, intellectuals of India have ensured that citizenry of India remain weak, docile and poor and then they throw the blame on a myth called as “Political Culture”.
At this point, I would like the reader to note that series of lies and half truths that Indian “intellectuals” throw before students.

6.2 Description of Right to Recall PM draft
The third GN we demand is to create procedure using which we commons can replace PM without waiting for 5 long years. Following are the main points of the proposed draft :-
- Any citizen who wishes to become PM can inward his name before Cabinet Secretary.
- Any citizen of India can walk to Talati's office, pay Rs 3 fee, approve at most five persons for PM’s position. The Talati will give him receipt with his voter-id, date/time, the persons he approved etc.
- The Talati will put citizen's preferences on Govt website with his voter-ID.
- A citizen can change his approvals any day for Rs 3 fee
- On every 1st of the month, the Secretary will publish the approval counts of each candidate
- The Approval count of the PM may be counted as higher of the following two (6.1) number of citizens who have approved him. (6.2) sum of votes obtained by the MPs who have supported the PM
- If any person has over 15 crore approvals and 1 crore more approvals than existing PM, then existing PM may resign and MPs may appoint person with highest approvals as PM.
6.3 Numerical explanations about the proposed procedures to replace PM, CMs
Say India has 75 crore voters. Then the replacement as per above procedure may happen if 1.5 crores voters more than existing approval count existing PM has approve a new person. To give an example, the PM of 2009 had support of about 300 MPs whose votes add up to about 18 crores. So as per the proposed procedure, if and when over 19 crores citizens approve another person, the next person shall become new PM.

- The Talati will put citizen's preferences on Govt website with his voter-ID.
- A citizen can change his approvals any day for Rs 3 fee
- On every 1st of the month, the Secretary will publish approval counts of candidates
- The approval count of the existing CM will be counted as higher of the following two (6.1) number of citizens who have approved him (6.2) sum of votes obtained by the MLAs who have supported the CM
- If any person has 2% more approvals than existing CM, then the existing CM shall resign and person with highest Approvals shall become CM.
6.5 Will PM, CMs get replaced every week? NO
In most companies, employers have power to fire employees and that does not mean that employers fire employees every day. Worse, most employers look for stable employees and resort to expulsion only when they make some terrible deliberate damage. The citizens will use this procedure not to expel a CM they dislike and not even to expel a CM who had made mistakes. They will use it only when they think that CM, PM is outrightly corrupt and anti-citizen. It takes intense hatred to think of expulsion and such hatred will come only from blatant back-stabbing, not some minor errors.
US has procedure of expulsion for Governors in about 20 states. Those states must have seen about 20*100/4 = about 500 Governors in past 100 years. How many faced recall? Only 2. So the mechanism has not created any instability. But has acted as a latent threat on all Governors of US which is one important reasons why they have been less corrupt than CMs of India.

6.6 Right to Recall PM draft
- The word citizen would mean a registered voterThis GN will become effective only after over 37 cr citizens register YES on it. The word may means may or need not, and clearly means “no binding”.
- (procedure for Collector) If a citizen of India above 30 years wishes to be PM, he can appear before Collector. Collector would issue a serial number for a filing fee same as deposit amount for MP election and put his name on the PM’s website.

Cost estimates for Right to Recall PM
Say 75 crore citizens desire to file approval for PM. Then cost they have to pay Rs 3 per approval, and so total cost is about Rs 225 cr. And once the procedure is implemented via ATM and SMS, the costs reduce to few paise per approval. So cost of replacing PM will then drop to less than few crores.

6.7 What if PM, MPs do not obey citizens?
One may ask – what if PM and MPs do not follow the clause-7, clause-8 of the above proposed GN? Well, if a huge % all voters have approved a person via explicit registration, it would be end of PM’s and MPs’ political (and real) lives if they refuse to appoint the approved person as PM. We would like to confine discussions within politically realistic scenarios, and MPs overruling explicit proven written political demand of over such huge % of voters is an unrealistic situation.
=======
6.8 Please note the last two clauses of the RTR-PM law I have proposed
Please note the last two clauses of the draft proposed above. These two clauses are nothing but RTI2. Well, every draft of mine has these two lines. Why this repetition? Because I want to repeat, re-repeat and re-re-repeat 1000s of times that we the commons of India have right to register difference on GoI books and so we must have procedure to register differences. The symbolism apart, the repetition has political value. It may happen that an RTR activist has to confront a person who is opposed proposed RTR law. Then RTR-activist can challenge him to provide the drafts of the laws they want, and then ask them to add the same two last lines. If the adversary opposes the last two lines’ additions, then he can be accused of being anti-common. And if he accepts these two line addition, then effectively his law implements RTI2, using which all laws I have proposed can be implemented using citizens’ YESes.
The two line addition shows that “demand for RTI2” is not just clone positive concept but RTI2 is a law that can be added to any democratic law without decreasing its effect. And the two line addition is sufficient to thwart any undemocratic law. Because if an undemocratic law has these two lines, it will get rejected in few days or weeks.
The last two lines also shows the fact that so called RTI2 is what I call as “Perfect Antidote” to all poisons. What is “Perfect Antidote”? A Perfect Antidote is something that if added to a glass of liquid, it will do no harm and will destroy any and all poisons in that glass. These two clauses of RTI2 are something that can gel well with every law. And they have capacity that if the law is good, they would do no harm and if the law is bad, the two clauses will ensure that citizens can remove that law. Thus, these two clauses of RTI2 is what I call as “Perfect Antidote”.

6.12 To those who oppose RTR over PM, CM, Mayor

=========
6.13 The effect of RTR drafts
The Right to Recall PM, CM, judges etc gives enormous power to citizens over CMs and PM. Till now, we have CMs , PM with mass base but no mass pressure. The procedure to replace CMs, PM creates a mass pressure on the CMs, PM. As of now most CMs, PM know that they cant be expelled for 5 years and take the citizens for ride. 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. To enact this procedures, the citizens need not us MRCM party candidates as MPs and MLAs. they can force existing PM and CMs to enact the first two MRCM Demands. Then using the second Govt Order, we intend to enact the Fifth Govt Order.
We at MRCM-Recall party has proposed similar procedure by which citizens will be able to replace following officials

6.14 How these replacement procedures reduce corruption?
One question I often face is --- existing officers are corrupt and so the new replacements will be also equally corrupt. So how will replacements reduce corruption, nepotism etc? I shall enumerate the process using examples of District Education Officer.
First, I have proposed drafts such as Imprisonment by Majority Voting and Execution by Majority Voting. This draft will apply only on those Ministers, IAS, IPS, judges who have accepted this procedure as 100% ethical and 100% Constitutional. All clauses in these drafts are 100% Constitutional and 100% ethical. Using these drafts, the citizens can imprison or even execute a corrupt Minister, IAS, IPS, judge, who has declared this draft as ethical. And what about those Ministers, judges etc who think that “Execution by Majority Vote” is less than 100% Constitutional and/or less than 100% ethical. Well, RTR gives citizens an option to expel all those IAS, IPS, Ministers, judges who think that “Execution by Majority Vote” is unethical. So now administration consists of officers who can be executed by majority vote. Given the threat of execution, these officers will not dare to take too much bribes. Now these procedure to Execute by Majority Vote has only campaign value. Because RTR will be sufficient to control corruption, and citizens will never need to invoke Execution by Majority Vote. I have explained how RTR will be sufficient in next paragraphs.
Consider the position of District Education Officer in-charge of schools in District. I at RRG have proposed Right to Recall DEO – a 10 clause procedure by which the citizens (parents) of district can replace DEO. How would RTR-DEO improve DEO? First, the threat of prompt replacement alone would force him to reduce corruption. But that does not do much. At the end, we want a DEO who is not interested in corruption to begin with, not someone who is reducing corruption because of threat of replacement. How does RTR-DEO in six months provide hundreds of DEOs who are not interested in corruption at all? I will explain the process of how RTR-DEO will accomplish that.
There are about 700 DEOs in India. All 700 are intelligent, capable and efficient. And out of them about say about 10-15 are not interested in corruption. That asset is what we already have. Now my RTR-DEO procedure has one more clause --- that if an officer is appointed as DEO by CM, he can be DEO of only one district ; but if citizens have made him DEO, he can be DEO of up to 5 districts in State and up to 10 districts in India. And he would get salaries of all those districts i.e. if a person is DEO of 4 districts and has been appointed by citizens, then his salary will be 4 times. This is cheaper as only salary becomes 4 times, medical benefits, other benegits and many lifelong benefits do not become 4 times. And a later modification makes this feature of “horizontal promotion” or “horizontal expansion” more radical --- the salary will become (N * Log2N) times where N is number of Districts he obtains via citizens’ approvals. Further, a person will be entitled to hold several positions across departments i.e. he may be DEO of 10 districts and also become District Health Officer of 10 districts with some limits. In addition, there is provision for vertical rise i.e. if he serves as District Prosecutors of several Districts, his chances of becoming State Prosecutors of one and more States increases.
So out of existing 700 DEOs, say 5-15 are non-corrupt. Once RTR-DEO comes, they will see an opportunity to do well as well as expand horizontally as well as vertically. The will start introducing positive changes in the schools in their districts. They will stop middle officers from taking bribes, they will ensure that contractors are putting furniture like blackboard, chairs etc in schools. They will ensure that teachers do attend schools etc. And when they do so, they will no longer give hafta to CMs. Now lets say in all cases CMs transfer them. Then out of 7-15 such cases, in at least 2-5 cases, the parents in order to save their kids’ education will bring that officer back using RTR-DEO.
So that would improve education in 2-5 districts out of 700 districts of India. What about the rest? Well, say you are living in district-A. Now say that DEO of A is corrupt and inefficient. Say there are 5 near by districts B, C D, E and X. Say district X alone has good DEO. Then citizens of district-A now have a choice – they can expel DEO of their district and give double charge of DEO of X. This very choice and power, that “citizens can now expel me using RTR and bring DEO of X in my place” will create a threat in the minds of DEO of A, B, C, D and E. So either they will all improve within 2-3 months, or citizens will expel them using RTR and replace him with DEO of X. And within 8-10 months, all 700 DEOs will improve or face expulsion.
And within 10-20 months, the officers with “get rich quick” and “hell with citizens” mentality from will start leaving administration, and will no longer join administration. So those who want to serve will have now more room and less corrupt people who will interfere..
The existing Govt procedures have a flaw that salary etc of an honest person does not double if he does twice the work, a phenomenon common in business. This de-motivates honest people from joining Govt. The RTR procedures I have proposed enable officers to hold multiple chairs and gain more salaries. This will increase the inflow of honest as well as enterprising persons into Govt.
I have proposed RTR over not just District Education Officers, but also over District Health Officer, District Police Chief, District Supply Officer (in charge of rationing) etc. I have proposed RTR over some 30-50 District level positions including district judges. So there are about 700 districts and so RTR will apply on about 30000 officers, judges. The day RTR comes, some 15000 will improve within 24 hours. And when mere 2-5 officers get expelled in India in district in first month, the remaining 15000 across India will also improve. IOW, RTR will not require citizens to expel even 50 out of 30000 officers. Expulsion of just 2-3 officers will serve as enough warning for the rest. So RTR will not create any instability at all.
Same way, I have proposed RTR State Govt level positions and Central Govt positions such as CM, PM, Ministers, HCjs, SCjs etc. In some cases, they will continue. In some cases they will get expelled and replaced by better persons in their level or lower levels.

6.15 RTR and common sense
Many accuse me of being pro-American and also accuse me of copying American system blindly. Well, first I am not pro-America at all – I am highly anti-America and I believe that US is the biggest enemy of India. US elitemen not only want to grab all the minerals of India but also want to impose Christianity using force and “10% genocide” if the need be. So I am not pro-America at all. But IMO we must understand factors that gave such strength to US, and RTR is one of the core strength-givers. RTR has created a low-corruption administration in US, which has made US so strong a country with so strong Military that it can not only take over oil wells of other countries, but can also force them to convert to Christianity. E.g. Iraq. So when I talk about RTR in US, I am only using US as example. I am not pro-American at all.
RTR is not from US. RTR is plain common sense. Say you have servants at home such as cook or person to clean utensils or sweep floors or take care of elderly parents etc. Do you have power to expel them? Say Govt makes a rule that you can pick any servant, but you can expel him only after a court order not otherwise. And money will get deducted from your account and will get deposited into his account for next five years. And only he can work in your home, no other servant will come for next 5 years. Then what will be your situation wrt to the servant? He will become your master and you will become his servant. Same is the situation of citizens. Every Govt employee from SC-Cj to peon in local office is “public servant”. But since citizens don’t have procedures to expel them, they have become “public masters”. Just as shareholders have procedures to expel CEO, Directors, senior managers etc – RTR over PM, CMs, SCjs, HCjs etc is same common sense. I often feel stupid that I understood RTR only after studying US and Indian administration in depth and found only trivial factor such as RTR which is what I should have thought of on the day one. “How stupid of me, that I didn’t think of it before” – is the only feeling I get when I look back.
=====
6.16 RTR and Atharvaved, Satyarth Prakash
Right to Recall is also mentioned in Atharvaved. Atharvaved says that Sabha , assembly of all citizens, can expel the King. Maharshi Dayanand Saraswatijee in chap-6 of Satyarth Prakash explain the Raj-Dharm, and in the first 5 sholkas, Maharshi says – Raja must be “Prajaa-aadhin” i.e. dependent on commons. And in the next shloka, Maharshi says that if Raja is not Prajaa-aadhin, then such a Raja would enter into the nation, rob the citizens and just as a carnivorous animal eats away the other animals, such Raja who is not Prajaa-aadhin would eat and destroy the nation. And Maharshi Saraswatijee has taken both shlokas from Atharvved. And please note – word Raja here includes all Raj-Karmachari i.e. employees of Govt from Supreme Court Chief judge to Patwari. All employees of Govt must be Prajaa-aadhin, or they will rob the citizens – so say the sages who wrote Atharvaved, and Maharshi Dayanand Saraswatijee agrees with those sages, and I also agree with those sages. How can we commons make Raja and all Raj-Karmachari “Prajaa-Aadhin”? Well, RTR PM, RTR Supreme Court judges, RTR CM are some ways I suggest. And please note – Dayanand Saraswatijee does speak about BandharaNa-aadheen Raja, he talks about Prajaa-aadheen Raja. So answering the question “why policemen in US are less corrupt than in India”, in the words of Atharvaved and Maharshi Saraswatijee, the reason is that the Police Chief in US is Prajaa-Aadheen while in the one in India is not Prajaa-aadheen at all. And Atharvaved and Maharshi Saraswatijee say that if the Raja (or Raj Karmachari such as Police Chief) is not Prajaa-aadheen, he will rob the citizens. We see that all the time. And not just District Police Chief, in US, Governor, MLA, District judge, District Education Officer, District Public Prosecutor, and in some states, even High Court Chief judge is Prajaa-aadheen. And so these Govt employee’s robbery is negligible.
In India, the intellectuals with 4 digit IQ have insisted opposite of what Atharvaved and Satyarth Prakash say. The intellectuals with 4 digit IQ say that Raja and Raj-Karmachari i.e. Govt employees should not be Prajaa-aadheen but should be only be BandharaNa-aadheen i.e. dependent on Constitution only. This whole concept of BandharaNa-Aadheen Raja i.e. BandharaNa-aadheen Ministers, officers, policemen and judges is bogus as BandharaNa’s interpretation can be twisted by judges, Ministers etc like a piece of wax.

6.17 West has no RTR-PM, RTR-SCj. So why do we need it?
I have been campaigning for the recall procedures by which we commons can expel PM, CMs and judges. All eminent intellectuals have opposed this demand and tried tooth and nail to show that Gazette Notifications I have proposed are unconstitutional. Having miserably failed, they say “West does not have this procedures and so why should India we have such procedures?”
Well, citizens in US do have procedures by which citizens can expel District level authorities. And the citizens in US also have procedures to expel Governor in about 20 states. In the remaining 30 states, the Governors know that if they misbehave, then citizens are capable of creating a procedure to expel them and then use that procedure to expel him. So while 20 Governors in US have explicit threat of expulsion by commons, the remaining 30 face the same threat implicitly.
Nevertheless, a question remains : the citizens of US dont have procedure to expel President and Senators at National level. Yet, in 1929 when millions or Americans lost jobs, the Senators, President and American elitemen enacted many laws such as 70% income tax, 70% inheritance tax and used these laws to collect funds necessary to implement welfare and employment schemes. How could such pro-common actions happened from US Federal Govt even though there is no recall at Federal level? Because in 1929, over 70% of Americans has guns. The welfare state in US and Europe came in 1930s via an “armed peaceful revolution”. This may sound contradictory, but it is not. In Russia only 10% to 15% population had weapons and so Czar could think of suppressing them; he tried and so there was an armed revolution. But in US and UK over 70% of adults had weapons. And the elitemen could see that suppression was not option even if all policemen and soldiers are deployed. And example of Russian Revolution of 1917 was before them and was too fresh in their memories. So the American elitemen in 1932-1936 agreed to give 40% to 70% of their income as income tax and agreed to give 40% to 70% of their wealth as inheritance tax upon death to implement welfare and employment schemes. This was no goodwill, but a way to save remaining 30% or income and 30% of wealth from armed citizenry. IOW, the welfare state was result of an armed peaceful revolution.
The leaders, eminent intellectuals and elitemen worry of only two things : recall and guns and nothing else. They dont fear loss of face, loss of reputation, they dont give a damn about inner voice, they dont care about miseries of us dying commons. E.g. in 1940s, even 40 lakh commons starved to death, the eminent intellectuals and elitemen used to eat and drink lavishly and did not bother. Even today, when per capita pulse consumption decreased by 25% and per capita grain consumption decreased by 10% in 1991-2008, you see leaders, intellectuals and elitemen demanding more IITs, more IIMs, more JNU, more UGC, more flyways, more skyways, more airports, better airports, better ports, more SEZs etc. When you talk about lakhs of infants dying each year for want of medicine/food barely worth Rs 1000 per year, the leaders, intellectuals and elitemen of India talk about Liberalization, Privatization, Globalization, Rising India, Shining India, Feel Good Factor, Incredible India, 8% growth rate group song. If Rome has one Nero, over 98% of leaders, intellectuals and elitemen of India are Nero. The American elitemen did not show such Nerogiri as 70% commons had guns. The Indian leaders, intellectuals and elitemen act like Nero as not even 2% commons in bottom 95% of commons have guns. So “Let them starve and let us cherish” is the motto of Indian elitemen, Indian leaders and Indian eminent intellectuals.
So Americans had recall at District/State level and not National level. But an armed citizenry acted as surrogate of recall at National level. We in India do not have armed citizenry. There are people like Naxals who believe that weapons are ONLY way to get rid of poverty. I support weaponization of us commons, but insist on “Right to Recall” to solve the poverty problem, and not use of weapons as the primary method. The commons might starve to death as they did in 1940s in Bengal or they might use weapons as in Russia in 1916 or threat of use of weapons may create a welfare state as it did in 1932 in USA. But those are the ways I would not suggest as of now. I want to try the “Right To Recall” way rather than use weapons against leaders, intellectuals and elitemen.
So re-answering the question : How come citizens’ plight in West improved in 1932-39 despite no recall procedures at National level? Answer is : because 70% of Americans had guns. As of now, bottom 98% of Indians do not have guns. I do want a Swiss like India, where 100% citizens have guns, but that is to protect India from possible invasion of Pakistan, China, USUK etc, not to solve poverty, corruption problem issue. For poverty, corruption problem, I prefer use of “Right To Recall PM, CM, judges etc”
Summarizing : West did not need recall at National level as they had armed citizenry. We do not have armed citizenry as of now, and so we have to have recall procedures at National, State and District levels.

6.19 Countering anti-recall arguments
West improved because of expulsion procedures (Juries or recall procedures) and because citizenry was armed to teeth. These were the ONLY two sources of improvement of the citizens of West. And Indian intellectuals have opposed both., i.e. they have opposed arming citizenry of India as well as they have opposed recall/Jury. IOW, intellectuals of India have ensured that citizenry of India remain weak, docile and poor and then they throw the blame on a myth called as “Political Culture”.
At this point, I would like the reader to note that series of lies and half truths that Indian “intellectuals” throw before students.
- The Indian intellectuals do not give any information wrt the fact that police in Europe improved only after Coroner’s Jury System came wherein citizens had means to expel an atrocious officer. Only after this Jury System, atrocities of policemen decreased and this reduced this ability to fleece commons. And it was only after and right after Coroner’s Jury System, that prosperity of Europe started increased.
- The Indian intellectuals do not give any information to activists, students wrt the fact that most important reason why District and State administration in US is low corrupt is widespread use of Jury and Recall.
