What should be Anna's Political Strategy Going forward ?


Team Anna should have following strategy going forward.
• Political party is the only alternative and long term solution– No pressure group/munch or support for independents from outside. Ultimately votes in the floor of parliament will bring the desired change. Pressure groups etc will disorient our cause.
• Please understand fundamental change in system doesn’t come in 4/5 years. This takes minimum 2 decades. Mulayam, Lalu and Mayawati (Though unfortunate) are results of 20 years of struggle by Honorary JP and Kanshi Ram. We should set peoples expectation accordingly, Let them know the fight going to be tough and long one. Disappointment, otherwise would be death sentence to the movement. If change comes early, that will be pleasant surprise and bonus to the people.
• Request AnnaJi to set vision/goals of this movement upfront. Prashant Bushan ji described it as the movement for systematic change. What is this systematic change ?
Power should go back to the people – Not to be retained by elected representatives who are
elected once in 5 years. This can be done through referendum’s. Its possible with
IT/technologies that are available. Aadhar –Unique ID based voter IDs can enable this. If we do
this, We can avoid unnecessary politics that we saw during Jan lokpal debate and No
Govt or politician will have power to change people’s mandate ever.

Through this referendum – Bring
1) Jan Lok Pal
2) Presidential form of Govt. – Where people directly elect their top leader – not the high comman. This can be done in better way than US. We can retain muti-party democracy for Primary elections – All parties can field their candidates in primary elections (To be conducted in 5% assembly constituencies spread uniformly across country). Top two candidates then can run and face entire electorate – Anyone who secures more than 50% votes will be our President or Prime Minister. Same thing with Governor/Chief Minister.
3) Separation of powers of Legislature, Executive and Judiciary. Legislators will only make law/policies – They will not run Govt Companies/Departments. They will have no jurisdiction on selection/operation/termination/transfer of Executives or Judiciary. Executives/ Judiciary will have authority, Responsibility, Accountability directly to people(This can be thought through)
4) Laws for Right to reject or Electoral reforms- funding etc.
5) Land reforms
6) Social Equality laws.
7) Economic/Business Laws (Free and Fair Competition should be the bedrock of these laws)
8) Others laws
• We should ensure that this party should not be like any other party that exist today. How ?
By employing transparent methods In setting up and functioning of this party.
1) There should internal democracy in the party.
2) Candidates who will be fighting elections should be selected by people themselves, directly. This can be easily done over internet/News channel. Like you are doing currently e.g. Asking people should Team Anna provide political alternative to people? Team Anna should provide choices to the people by scanning background and character of the candidates.
3) Through these methods Please engage people in your decision making directly – This is what this movement is promising anyway. It will help you guys to engage people all the time. If only few members of Team Anna making decisions then you are writing obituary of this movement.
