This is the newspaper advt I will be giving in Indian Express to show that RTR-MP procedure draft we have proposed is better than RTR-MP procedure draft proposed by Sri Varun Gandhiji. Pls take a look, and see if there are error.
.
If anyone can do a complete re-design, he is welcome.
.
The text portion of DRAFT is as follows. The link to PDF is in first comment

(1) Preface : first of all, we all at RRP sincerely thank MP Sri Varun Gandhiji for presenting a private member bill to enact RTR MP (RTR = Right to Recall). We at RRP are working to bring RTR over PM, CM, MP, judges, District Police Chief, District Education Officer and all nodal officers at Central/State/District levels. After all, most important reasons why USA is ahead of world are laws like – RTR, Jury System, absence of draconian GST, use of Wealth Tax, etc. USA has RTR over District Police Chief, judges, CM, Public Prosecutors etc, and we at RRP intend to bring all these laws in India.

Now mere label of RTR is useless. A good procedure is must and a flawed procedure is pointless. Now RTR MP procedure Varunji has proposed is seriously flawed. Our proposed RTR procedure does NOT have such flaws. A full comparison with all links is at tinyurl.com/RtrMp1 This advt has summaries with some numerical examples.
.
(2) A summary of Varunji’s proposed procedure : say a constituency has N = 20,00,000 voters. Then ,
(i) if over 25% = 500,000 voters sign recall petition, then
after signature verification, there will be recall poll
(ii) if over 75% = 15,00,000 voters vote YES in recall poll, then MP is recalled and new election will be held
.
Varunji’s procedure doesnt depend on votes MP had got when he became MP. Varunji’s procedure uses what we call as “negative recall” i.e. recall is done only based on opposition to existing MP. And recall and replacement don’t happen in same poll. Now, some main flaws are -
(2a) over 40% voters in India do not know how to sign
(2b) Collectors etc don’t have specimen signature records to verify voters’ signatures on recall petition
(2c) say 20% voters support existing MP, but MP is still most popular; then also there can be a recall poll and may get recalled, and later he may get reelected !!
(2d) say an existing MP has support of 35% voters and other person now has support of 45%; then also, that other person can NOT replace existing MP.
So Varunji’s procedure creates many spurious recall polls and spurious recalls. And many times, when recall is possible and needed, recall wont happen
.
(3) A summary of our proposed procedure : we give more emphasis on RTR District Education Officer (see tinyurl.com/RtrDeo2 ), RTR District Police Chief, RTR PM, etc. But RTR-MP is also in our list. The full draft of our RTR-MP procedure is at tinyurl.com/RtrMp1. The recall procedure depends on votes the elected MP had got and his current popularity as well. A summary is –
(3a) say a Loksabha constituency has N = 20,00,000 voters and say MP had got M = 650,000 votes.
(3b) (i) after election, any person can register as alternative for existing MP ; (ii) a voter can approve at most 5alternative candidates anyday ; (iii) a voter can cancel approval anyday; approve anyone else anyday
(3c) if candidate has approvals of over (M + 5% of N) = (650,000 + 5% of 20,00,000) = 750,000 voters in this example, and his approval count is more than that of existing MP, then and then only there is recall poll
(3d) in recall poll, if an alternative gets more votes than existing MP and he also gets more than (M + 5% of N) = 650,000 + 5% of 20,00.000 = 750,000 votes in this example, then and then only existing MP will be removed and alternative candidate will become new MP on same day. Or else, existing MP will continue.
.
Our procedure uses “positive recall” i.e. recall poll and recall are done after it is proved that an alternative has more support than existing MP has today and alternative has more support than MP had in past. And recall and replacement both happen in same poll, or none happen. Our procedure looks complex, but doesn’t have flaws present in Varunji’s procedure, as elaborated below.
.
(4) Why procedure we at RRP have proposed is better?
I will explain by 3 numerical examples. In all 3 examples, constituency has N = 20,00,000 voters.
.
(Example-1) Say MP X won with M = 650,000 votes. So one may be able to get signatures of 25% = 500,000 voters for recall. But 75% = 15,00,000 voters may not vote YES in recall poll for X’s recall, because 650,000 do support X. So recall poll will fail. So there can be spurious recall polls in Varunji’s procedure. Such wont happen in our procedure because recall poll in our procedure happens only when an alternative has more than (M + 5% of N) = 750,000 approvals in this numerical example.
.
(Example-2) Say MP X won with 350,000 votes. So 500,000 voters may sign for recall and 1500,000 may also say YES in recall poll. But in election after recall poll, if X gets 350,000 votes and still has highest number of votes, then again X will get re-elected. So Varunji’s procedure can cause spurious recalls. This wont happen in our procedure because recall poll happens only after its proven that alternative has more voters than existing MP.
.
(Example-3) Say MP X won with 650,000 votes and say after 1 year, some alternative Y has support of say 800,000 voters. Then in Varunji’s procedure, recall wont happen, because X still has support of over 25% of voters. Whereas in our procedure, recall of X can happen, and Y can become new MP. So in Varunji’s procedure, in a large number of cases where recall “should” happen, the recall wont happen. This flaw isnt there in our procedure.
.
So we politely request Varunji and all activists/voters of India to consider both recall procedures and decide. And If you decide to support our recall procedure, then pls tweet – “ @PmoIndia pls print Right to Recall MP draft given at mygov.in/comment/101390431 #RrpRtrMP “
