villages. It will have a small EVM machine, a
computer, a scanner, a printer, a projector and
a camera, all connected to the Internet. The
Panchayat Secretary will be responsible for its
permanent use and maintenance. The Panchayat
Secretary and the Patwari will be the permanent
servants of the village, who will be on duty at
the community center.
Gram Sabha
The Gram Sabha will have the exclusive right to
make the dream of Gram Swaraj come true. The
entire population of the village is called Gram
Sabha. The Panchayat will be under the Gram
Sabha. Any important decision can be taken by
the Gram Sabha. The Gram Sabha will take any
decision in secret through EVM machine. Any Gram
Sabha member can vote for any decision by
putting his ID card in front of the camera.
Zone Council
Cities will be divided into zones on the basis
of population. Which will be called Zone Sabha.
The municipality will be subject to zone
meetings. All the rights of Gram Sabha will also
be vested in the Zone Sabha.
Special powers to Zilla Parishads
Block Samantis will be abolished to reduce the
cost of corruption. But for the predominance of
Panchayati Raj, special powers would be given to
the Zilla Parishad.
EVM machine
The EVM machine will immediately save the photo
of the voter, the identity of his / her vote
card and the record of his / her decision and
send the second copy to the district level and
the third copy to the Punjab level. Any member
of Gram Sabha can vote on any issue for 6 days
at any time. These can be counted during the
Panchayat meeting on the seventh day. One-fifth
of the Gram Sabha can take up any issue by
giving its opinion through EVM machine. But the
decision will be made by secret ballot by EVM
machine.
The right to recall a member
The Gram Sabha reserves the right to recall any
member of the Panchayat or the entire Panchayat.
One-third of the Gram Sabha may have an agenda
to recall any member or the entire Panchayat by
secret ballot through EVM machine. But the
decision will be made in secret, according to
the majority obtained.
The power to recall the MLA may be withdrawn or
impeached by the Gram Sabha of the Assembly
constituency and the Zonal Sabha of the city
together with the elected representative of
their constituency. Every elected person will be
answerable for Gram Sabhas and Zonal Sabhas. The
Vidhan Sabha can pass a law in this regard and
seek the approval of Parliament. The recalled
MLA will no longer be a member of the Assembly,
but the decision on the by-election will be in
the hands of the Election Commission.
Wardwandi over
Wardbandi will be abolished to end factionalism
in the villages. All members will be directly
elected from the village. The highest voting
member will be considered Sarpanch. Everyone
will have equal rights. The sarpanch will have
no special powers. All decisions will be made by
consensus or majority. The Panchayat will be
given the power of mini court. A weekly
panchayat meeting will be required. A member who
is absent from three consecutive meetings will
be dismissed. The Panchayat will be given
special powers to save the people from the
hassle of going to police stations and blocks.
The Panchayat will make all decisions by
consensus. Panchayat members will make their
decision in secret through EVM machine. No one
will know which member has voted for or against.
