Political Leaders - Take Our Feedback

Will political parties allow us to vote stating whether we approve their political activities.

I suggest that Indian Election Commission in their website should ask national parties to select five main activities they executed during the year and voters should vote (vide website) whether they approve, do not approve, partial approve or others.

Two set of questions:

1. At State level
2. At National Level

Example:
A voter from Maharashtra will have national political parties (from Maharashtra) list their five political activity and voter should be allowed to vote for it.
As a voter for India similar listing will have to be done for national level that is all India level and voter should be able to vote for it.
The results should be displayed instantaneously and voting should be available once in a year i.e. December 15-30 (or any shorter period of 3 / 5 days).

Logic for above:
It is noticed that various Bandhs / Representations/ State bifurcation etc. are carried out  by political parties without taking any feedback whether it has benefited ordinary voter in any way.

For example:
Bandh called for Fuel increase (on September 10, 2018)
Bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

If you visit Andhra Pradesh and Telangana , check with the ground level voters, they will surely state that there was no benefit to the ordinary citizens of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana post bifurcation.

It appears the only beneficial party was Political Parties as previously there was one post for Chief Minster/Home Minister/ Education Minister etc. now there are two separate posts. As one citizen from Telangana stated "Political leaders have smartly created jobs for themselves".

Ask politicians and they will list huge benefits that the region has received. As usual the question should be posed to ordinary citizens (excluding Political Party Members) and you will get the true picture.

Formation date of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana was 2nd June 2014. Please do not check the State Gross Domestic Product, Revenues etc. as the correct indicator.

What is national party?
A political party becomes eligible to be recognised as a national party if it has won 2 per cent of seats in Lok Sabha from at least three different states in the latest general election; or in a Lok Sabha or Assembly election it has polled 6 per cent of the total valid votes in at least four states, in addition to winning four Lok Sabha seats; or it has been recognised as a state party in at least four states.
