What choice does the Indian Voter have between the Devil and the Deep sea?

It is now 73 years since we achieved independence in spite of the efforts of the forefathers of the BJP who tried to derail the movement and who now claim themselves to be nationalists. Are we satisfied with the performance of the Indian Union since 1947?
I am not.
Part of the blame should go to Pandit Nehru who was at the helm up to 1962. In spite of all the development work he did in building modern India with its towering world class factories and the IITs and IIMs, which are present leaders try to belittle, he failed on one front - curbing corruption and nepotism. We are suffering because of his closing his eyes to the corruption of people close to him like V K Krishna Menon who was associated with the Jeep scandal. Nehru took no action on Krishna Menon and instead made him the Defence Minister. If Nehru had taken action when this first corruption case occurred, perhaps, India's corruption would have been nipped in the bud.
After that the flood gates opened and it reached unmanageable proportions during Indira Gandhi and then Rajiv Gandhi's time. It further increased when Manmohan Singh became Prime Minister and  had to form unholy coalitions to keep his ministry stable. It was one such coalition partner, the DMK which led to his down fall. Of course, the downfall was assisted by the then head of CAG who it seems acted as a Trojan horse of the BJP to inflate loss figures of the 2G  scandal. He had the active support of the media to whom he would leak his views. The media have suddenly become silent, now that the BJP is in power.
We can safely say, that the BJP got a chance to step in because of the corruption in the Congress, ably magnified by the media.. Of course, the corruption under the BJP has not decreased by any chance. It is only, the media which is supposed to be the watch dog for the people have been drugged with money by the BJP capitalist cronies.

But are we going to stagger along between corrupt parties and communal parties for the rest of our and the lives of our children? Do we have no choice?

Presently the existing political parties have built a deep moat around themselves so that unless a person has money in crores, criminals to loot, boot, threaten and murder and the police to back him to file false FIR against opposition candidates and harass them, he just cannot hope to serve the people. With each election, ie. five years, the wealth of 90% of the political candidates increase by anywhere between 300 to 900 %. Of course, we are never told of the increase in wealth of the political parties themselves for they coolly keep themselves out of audit in spite of the best efforts by the Supreme Court.

Fortunately, one of the good deeds of the ADR was the introduction of NOTA, (None of the Above) on the voting paper. The time has now come to expand the activities of NOTA.

Presently, people do not cast their vote for NOTA because it does not have a candidate and people are  told by the existing political parties that your vote for NOTA is a waste.

Since ADR have been following and trying to set the standards of our electoral system, I would suggest that ADR may be given the task of setting up offices in each state and selecting good NOTA candidates according to their yardstick for each and every Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha seat. 
An ideal electoral manifesto should be drawn for each state considering everyone to be and Indian, irrespective of caste, language or religion.

Although, NOTA does not have a candidate, ADR could draw up a list of candidates after thoroughly vetting their CV. If they meet the high standard which ADR has set, they could be called for interview. They would be shown the electoral manifesto that ADR has drawn up and if the candidate agrees with the manifesto 100 % then only can he be added to the selected list.

We do not want the people to vote on the basis of caste, language or religion. The people of the constituency could then be given the qualifications of the candidate and the work he has been doing, without giving out the name, caste or religion of the candidate. People then can be told that if you vote for NOTA in this election you would get such a candidate. 

ADR and Civil society should approach the EC and Supreme Court to allow a candidate to be marked for NOTA in each constituency. I know, the EC is under the thumb of the Modi government an may not agree but some means should be found. But first ADR has to agree to take the lead to select NOTA candidates.

I know this is a haywire idea but the corrupt political parties have to be defeated with haywire ideas. I will wait for your comments before forwarding all to ADR.
