Focus - Instead of contesting all the seats, focus all leaders on a single state or a single city. You can concentrate on the people's problems and provide exact solutions that meets their needs. You can gain complete control on the affairs of the state and that is a much better position to be in to show the difference. Choose a state where major political parties have a weak base and the development has severely lagged behind.

Pre-poll Manifesto - There is no 'manifesto' but there are Goals and Objectives. These are created at every ward level or gram sabha level in consultation with local representatives and the issues are noted, solutions are obtained by experts. The goals and objectives for the constituency and its wards are listed on an annual basis and this document is published before the elections.


Issue of tickets – Beyond the essential clean character, the candidate should have demonstrated leadership skills in solving people’s problems, have a transformational vision and a mission for the constituency, showcase a plan on how the vision will be achieved with concrete annual targets. Have a representative in every ward who can help him achieve the vision for the constituency. It is the candidate and his team that will be presented to people of the constituency.

Reissue of tickets - Every candidate has to perform and meet the goals and objectives to be reissued the tickets. There is an assessment committee which would obtain votes to measure citizens opinion on candidates performance.

Campaign – Campaign by doing and not just by talking, let us clean the streets, fix the garbage, fix the lights, fill the potholes, involve people to join in at every ward level. This is a party for you and me and we need to participate to make a change is the message. IAC has excellently used mobile, internet mediums and that should be continued till ward level to showcase the vision.
