Bringing CITIZENS VOICE draft via Aandolan, not Election Winning

1. What do I mean by Aandolan (= mass movement )

First of all, what do I mean by so called mass movement aka Aandolan, particularly in the context of Aandolan to force PM, CMs to sign CITIZENS VOICE or Aandolan for Prajaa-aadheen Raajaa? What I mean by Aandolan is where in lakhs and crores of unpaid citizens are directly approaching party workers, MLAs, MPs, Ministers to ask CMs, PM to sign the CITIZENS VOICE draft without delay. And the citizens are also approaching CMs, PM to sign CITIZENS VOICE draft without delay.And these citizens are doing it on their own, not because there emotionally pressurized by activists. The approach can be in the form of letters, phone calls, SMS, rallies,

gherao,demonstrations, newspaper ads, slogans etc. The PM, CMs may set up a system to show objectively how many citizens want CITIZENS VOICE. And citizens must not take any violent actions till it is objectively established that majority of citizens do want CITIZENS VOICE.

2. So what do I need to raise this aandolan where in lakhs of citizens are asking CM, PM to sign CITIZENS VOICE draft?
1. I need to convince crores of citizens that CITIZENS VOICE will benefit them 2. I need to convince crores of citizens that it is possible for citizens to force PM, CMs to sign CITIZENS VOICE draft against his will and against the will of the elitemen. 3. I need to convince crores of citizens that it is possible for citizens to force PM, CMs to sign CITIZENS VOICE draft without any help from intellectuals, media owners etc, without help of MPs, MLAs and without waiting for elections. 4. After crores of citizens are convinced that PM should sign CITIZENS VOICE draft, I need to convince crores of citizens that crores of citizens are convinced that PM must sign the CITIZENS VOICE draft.

To attain the last sub-goal, I only need a communication network. And to attain each of the first 3 sub-goals, 1. I need to convince lakhs of activists that CITIZENS VOICE will benefit citizens. 2. I need to convince lakhs of activists that it is possible for citizens to force PM, CMs to sign CITIZENS VOICE draft against his will and against the will of the elitemen.

3. I need to convince lakhs of citizens that it is possible for citizens to force PM, CMs to sign CITIZENS VOICE draft without any help from intellectuals, media owners etc, without help of MPs, MLAs and without waiting for elections. 4. I need to convince activists to spend at least 1 hr a week in convincing above items to fellow activists and citizens.

3. Are citizens powerful enough to force PM? Or is Aandolan a useless idea?

The intellectuals of India have created a false notion that citizens are legless and handless,and are so weak that they can never ever force PM to sign a piece of paper against PMs will. I need to show that this is a white lie. The citizens are powerful to force PM, CMs to sign CITIZENS VOICE draft against his will. And also,the PM and CMs are extremely weak fellows they are not strong at all to withstand hostility of even few lakhs of citizens. In fact, our existing PM, MMS, is so weak that he can even say NO to MNCs and even weak countries like Pakistan openly ridicule him. Surely, we citizens are very much strong enough to force such as a weak PM to sign a piece of paper.

4. Some real examples of how successful Aandolans have been

1) In 1974 in Gujarat, about 50000 students demanded resignation of the then CM Chimanbhai Patel. And many lakhs of citizens supported them. And later students demanded resignation of every MLA. Within months, CM resigned and so did every MLA (i.e. Assembly was dissolved). Surely CM did not resign willingly and MLAs did not resigned willingly. The force of citizens of intense enough that CM and MLAs had to do things unwillingly. Hence, it is possible for citizens to force CM, MLAs to even resign, forget forcing them to sign CITIZENS VOICE draft. 2) In 1984 in Gujarat, some students demanded resignation of the then CM Madhavsingh Solanki. And many lakhs of citizens supported them. The agitation went on for several months. Finally CM resigned. Surely CM did not resign willingly. The force of citizens was intense enough that CM had to resign. Hence, it is possible for citizens to force CM to even resign, forget forcing him to sign CITIZENS VOICE draft. 3) In 1977, Devi Indira Amma ended emergency. The most important reason was that prisons were over flooded with activists of all age. The prison becoming houseful with activists is a nightmare for any Jailer and PM. Why? Because when police/prisoner ratio becomes too low, prisoners may dare to break the prison from insider. Now if policemen shoot down murders,rapists or thieves inside prison,

the citizens will support them. But if policemen shoot down activists with no otherwise criminal record, the citizens might burn down the whole prison. And when one prison breaks, the news gives courage to prisoners in prisons all across countries and many more prisons break. And when prisons break, the policemen at local police stations have only one option left to deal with aandolankaries to shoot. Because there is no prison to imprison the aandolankari. Since shooting 1000s of people is non-option, when prisons breaks, policemen have no option but to watch aandolankaries like a bystander. This increases the courage of citizens and more and more citizens become aandolankari and aandolan grows.. Devi Indira Amma could foresee that prisons can now break, and if that happens, aandolan against her grow like wildfire. So all in all, it was aandolan or fear of aandolan, which convinced Devi Indira Amma to end the emergency.

4) As a small example, the students aandolan in 1991 played important role in forcing the then PM VP Singh to resign. So I have given two National level examples and 2 concrete Gujarat-level examples to show that citizens can force CM, PM to act against their will. One may add experiences of other States in India. At district level, success of Aandolans is more than established. In fact, the so called Procedure of Election is routinely conducted only because elitemen see it as necessary condition to avoid Aandolans. IOW, the only reason why elections happen is to the fear of Aandolans.

So how to generate Aandolan for CITIZENS VOICE? It is simple, though voluminous task. The intellectuals claim that citizens are fools and lack awareness, and these intellectuals are liars. The citizens are very much intelligent and aware about their interest they only lack information on ways and means how West solved the problem, and which drafts can apply these ways and means in India. One the citizens are informed their self interest will be sufficient to make them act. No push or pull is needed.
Jayprakash had failed to enact laws before 1977. How would Aandolan for CITIZENS VOICE succeed?

One valid question I face is : JPN had failed to force Congress leaders to enact the laws. So those who support CITIZENS VOICE, Right to recall drafts the task is to communicate to citizens.
