A man walks into a restaurant and places an order for four veg meals, one each of Gujrati, Punjabi, Maharashtrian and South Indian. When he has all four meals at his table, he chooses something from each and asks the waiter to take back the rest.
Yeah, this is one of the recent television advertisement of direct-to-home service provider, which allows its users to choose individual television channels, instead of predefined packs of channels.
This is the new world with cut throat competition, in which each company tries to attract consumers with unique features built into their products.
If one mobile service provider comes with dynamic cellular plans, then other comes up with one-second pulse rate. If one bank works from 8 AM to 8 PM, other bank works 365 days a year. All in the same game, to leave others behind in the race. Even public sector units (PSU) have their sleeves rolled up. Chandrababu Naidu even ran his government in Andhra Pradesh in much the same style, as corporate world does. Many started calling him the CEO of the state, and not CM (chief minister).
Let's start from the first line all over again...
A man walks into a polling booth and gets lists of cabinet ministers of different political parties or alliances to choose from. Say, for UPA we have Mr. Manmohan Singh as Prime Minister, Mr. P. Chidambaram for Home, Mr. Pranab Mukherji for Finance, so on covering all major portfolios and one local representative. Similarly, for NDA we have Mr. L. K. Advani as Prime Minister, Mrs. Sushma Swaraj for Home, Mr. Yeshwant Sinha for Finance and a local representative. When he has the ministers on the menu, he chooses one for each portfolio, plus a local representative. Giving India more power to choose. Intelligent India, intelligent government!
With main portfolio already allocated, having a mix of all parties, the chosen prime minister now chooses his other cabinet and state ministers from among the elected local representatives, which together will form the face of the government. All other elected local representatives alongwith the losers competing for major portfolios will form the opposition. Party lines broken!
What say... poor uneducated people, a very big number in itself in India, won't understand and will not be able to register their vote? Doesn't matter, they can just choose a local representative, as they do now, and/or a prime minister, leaving everything else blank. A valid vote! For blanks, we may consider local representative filling in for them at a later stage. Open for debate!
Election for educated will be online and/or in booth, and with UID chipping in.. it will just be easy. Is it not?! For others we have our electronic voting machines to choose just the local representatives. Not bad!
Cutting party lines to individuals, ending casteism and still having a good, knowledgeable opposition will get competitiveness into governance. Just what India needs badly!
