5Cs for - Clean,Credible,Competent,Corruption Free and Committed - Candidate

Dear Sirs/Madams,

I am a citizen of India seeking good governance. By signing this petition I am committed to setting aside labels of caste, creed, community and ideological differences to unite with my fellow citizen in seeking good governance.

Very soon candidates from your parties will be campaigning in my constituency, visit my village, my neighbourhood, my apartment block, and fold his/her hands at my doorstep, seeking from me my most valuable possession as a citizen my vote.

Please note that I wish to be treated with the respect deserved by a citizen of India - not a vote bank statistic. Therefore, my vote cannot be purchased with pouches of illicit liquor and Rs. 500 notes; it cannot be stolen at the polling booth and I will not squander it on false promises. I shall invest my vote in good governance alone.

Before your candidates seek my vote, allow me to seek a commitment from all political parties to good governance for the greatest good of all.

Also, expected from all Parties is a commitment to arrive at a consensus on all issues in the national interest specifically national security - irrespective of ideology.

The above commitments must reflect in the election manifesto of your parties.

Party candidates representing your parties for the forthcoming Lok Sabha Parliamentary elections must comply with the following criteria:

Clean Image: free of any previous history or pending cases of criminal or economic nature in any court of law in this country. Declaration of assets and all sources of income.

Credibility: possessing the credentials to represent a constituency with either a record of service in the public domain and/or an expertise in a particular profession.
Competence: to represent the voice and concerns of his/her constituency on issues of local, national and international importance. Candidates selected in order to pander to vote banks on the basis of caste, creed, community or business interests shall be deemed unacceptable.

Corruption Free: with no history of corrupt practices or, the aiding and abettment of the same in his/her professional or public life.

Commitment to the principles of secularism enshrined in the Constitution of India

In the event that the candidates nominated by your parties - for any constituency - fail to comply with the above criteria, citizens such as myself and fellow signatories of this petition shall enjoy the following choices:

To recommend a candidate from within your respective parties to represent your party for the constituency, complying with all of the above criteria.
To recommend to a political party the replacement of a standing representative who is in breach of the above criteria during his completed tenure as Member of Parliament.
Reserve the right to support an Independent candidate seeking election complying with the above criteria
Reserve the right to nominate an Aam Aadmi candidate for each constituency, who will seek election as an independent enjoying the support of the signatories belonging to the same constituency.

Rather than devaluing my vote by voting against the candidates chosen by your political parties, I wish to cast my vote for good governance.

It is my endeavour to circulate this petition in every Indian language to every nook and corner of this country, by email and on paper, across the internet and on foot, to solicit thumbprint and signature.

I beseech you not to ignore the pleas of this petition. I look forward to your co-operation and the opportunity to participate in bringing the change I wish to see in our great democracy.

    • Our Nation cannot grow physically, morally and spiritually unless the leaders are able and with greater interest of the nation. So, there is a rising need, today than ever, for leaders who are patriotic and not those who assume the office through unfair means to fill their personl ambitions.

    • OUR ELECTION COMMISSIONS :In today's India, Politicians of upright, ethical character are overall scarse in this Country, and practially non-existant in some States of India!! Considering this grave situation in the Country, I join in with the several other concientious citizens in signing the petition,under submission to you all. We look forward to your valued coperation in enforcing the norns laid down in our petition, to weed out from this forthcoming Elections,Politicians of a divisive, rabble-rousing, corrupt, self-intersted, moey-making mindset. This will lift the current " Vote-Based" elections of our country to great heights of nobility....and surely propel the progress of this country more rapidly, than any other means.to the place India er hemocrasy Of this Country be preserved and and lived at in line with the lofty IDEALS DEmocratic Govenments.
