[After RTI] Two Great Reforms coming-Compulsory Voting & Services

Service level Agreement (SLA) in Delhi

Feature
in short, if officer doesn't give you

1. birth /Death certi,
2. BPL/ Ration card card/
3. Caste/ Domicile certi

etc. within the stipulated time, he'll have to pay fines from his salary!!

How it works?

1. All branches departments will be connected with ICT (Info.communication tech.)
2. The moment a Department accepts your application for some service, the timer starts ticking
3. your application will be sent to the concenrned branch
4. if the officer fails to provide the service within that timer, penalties will be put on his salary.


Who is the brain behind it?
PM and PMO

Why only Delhi

* Because many servies fall in the hands of States like registration of FIRs etc
* So Centre can't coerce them to make laws for it.


When will this be implemented?

* PMO is making the draft, this is going to be implemented soon.


Compulsory Voting in Gujarat for PRI & ULB

* PRI = Panchayati Raj institution
* ULB= Urban local bodies

Feature:-

* ‘duty to vote’’ will apply to all qualified voters for municipal corporations, municipalities, district, taluka and village panchayats.
* if you don't vote in the election of PRI / ULB, you'll be made ineligible for Govt. schemes etc.
* negative voting if the voter does not wish to vote for any of the listed contestants.


What if you don't vote?

* voter failing to turn up to vote will be declared ‘‘defaulter’’.
* you'll be given one month's time to explain yourself in front of the election officer (show some Medical certi. etc crap)
* if the Election officer finds your explaination unsatisfactory, you'll be made ineligible for
* below poverty line (BPL) card,
* government service,
* subsidised loan,
* (i wish they added more punishment in this. because posh people doesn't need most of above things !)

Can you skip voting?
yes you can if

* you are physically incapable due to illness, or
* absent on the date of election from the country or the state of Gujarat.


When will this be implemented?

* Today,Gujarat Govt. will table the bill in Vidhan-Sabha (State Legislative Assembly) and it'll be passed soon.
