RTI,Anti Corruption Burue, Bureucrats,politicians. I would rather voice for Baba Ramdev's campaign. He is doing it in more organised way,consistent, reaching out people all across, in cities or in rural areas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12359792.post-81747315872779640442011-04-08T12:03:51.134+05:302011-04-08T12:03:51.134+05:30@Shirin

A culture where people are influencing what the elected do. Today, after voting, people lend all the control to the elected few. This needs to be changed. I think this agitation is a going to help changing that. The jan lokpal bill might have loopholes but if government accepts it (or the 50% participation); it is desired change to begin with. Some bright legal minds can then take care of the loopholes.<br /><br />I think government is in soup here. If they do not accept the amendments, the rage will increase. If they accept it, it will encourage more such fights. I think (and hope) this will trigger a process that changes our democracy.Sandeephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310846919159484318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12359792.post-1461092911084497812011-04-07T15:27:02.792+05:302011-04-07T15:27:02.792+05:30First of all congrats on your fast, something whic...First of all congrats on your fast, something which happens very rarely on ur part :P <br />But on a serious note I am not sure as to how efficiently this bill is going to get any change in the corruption scenario of the society...The constitution of the selection committee for the lokpal members is only at doubt...how many of the people in this selection committee can be said to be "non-corrupt". Also it says that a prior "politician" can become a member of the lokpal provided he quits his office....I am sure there would be plenty who would be ready to plunge in if need be to save the "corruption"..<br />Although agreed that last time Anna Hazare had gone on a fast we had seen many corrupt officers "going hungry"...so here's truly hoping to see some beneficial and long term outcome coming out of this :) As for me fasting...no comments :PShirinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042636209968439204noreply@blogger.com
