POLL REFORM INDIA

© www.pollreformindia.com

Every Citizen of India wants it to be Free from “3C‟s”-
C for Communalism, C for Casteism and C for Corruption.
Most of the People who represent us follow either of these
3C‟s, So we need to get rid of them and elect better people.

Electoral Reforms is the answer to the problem.

, |

You Pick up candidate of any party, Candidates are selected
on the basis of their Religion ,Caste, Money and Muscle
Power, instead of qualities like Education, administrative skills
etc. The Electoral Process which helps in running the whole
country is full of loopholes and need radical reforms. This also
results in massive corruption.

|

|

Every Political Party should select their candidates not on the
basis of Religion or Caste, But on the basis of his/her qualities
and work. If a political party uses „Religion or Caste‟ during
Election Campaign and selects candidates on that
basis, then a strong law must be in place against such
parties, In fact they should be derecognized.


Criminalisation of Politics- This is one of the most important
reasons for the falling standards of our polity. To prevent
muscle power in politics, a strong law should be in place and
every political party should have the moral responsibility to
stop such elements from entering into their organisation.

-


Right from the Goswami Committee report (1990) to the
Second Administrative Reforms Commission (2010) there
have been many proposals to review the Electoral
System, but there has been no initiative to implement it.

,
!


Constitution is Supreme.

The Election Commission of India has time and again pr oposed
Electoral Reforms, But the Political System has not
implemented these reforms.


We impose full faith in the Indian Constitution and our democracy.
We believe that our Democracy can be strengthened by our
Constitution which was created in 1950 by our forefathers . It is clear
that with the passage of time there has been a downfall in the
functioning of our democratic institutions. Therefore, we need
reforms to strengthen our democratic structure.

This Campaign urges the Government to implement those
reforms as soon as possible.

„Poll Reforms India‟ would Create Better Governance and
would immensely benefit the image of Indian Politicians
