Election reforms There are no two opinions about the urgent need for electoral reforms. But will the elected representatives oblige on an issue, which is hitting their core interests? Govt funding, two parties system and right of recall and limiting the term for two periods only, Those with criminal records and without basic educational qualifications to participate in law making process They must also declare the assets of even their families and those should also be in public domain being public servants Those who want to change parties or shift allegiance must resign and stand the test of re elections.The parties on their own reserve seats for women The filing returns on expenditure immediately within time limits or be under serious punishment The use of religion, region and appeal to caste even indirectly should be considered as an offence The entry through Raja Sabha for occupying Ministerial posts should be absolutely abolished The limit of expenses even indirectly attributed to the candidate contesting.The distribution of goods, rations and articles even before the date of elections must also be accounted Any influences to get benefits from govt agencies should not be ignored Two immediate members from the same family should not be permitted either as independents or candidates of other parties The candidates must agree to debate on public platform their programmes or view points Politics and political interference in all spheres of National matters is eroding the purity of life Interference in police functions, appointments,judicial appointments transfers should also be factored in The CBI and CVC,tax department should be outside the purview of political sphere Political reforms in any form that will be acceptable will eradicate many ills of the present social evils.
