Referendum Results: People want Annas Jan Lokpal

Peoples voice says, rather loud and clear, that they want Annas Jan Lokpal. An overwhelming 96.5% people (average of result of 14 constituencies) said that they shall not Vote for their representative in next elections if he/she doesnt support Jan Lokpal within the Standing Committee as well as Parliament. We urge the Elected Representatives to heed the wishes of the People to bring the strongest Anti-corruption law. Noteworthy are the results of Rae Bareily, Congress president Sonia Gandhis constituency where 99.5% percent people said they will not elect her back if she doesnt support the passage of Annas Jan Lokpal, and only 500 out of over approximately 1 lakh people filled in the form that they would still vote for her. In Ghaziabad, constituency of BJPs Rajnath Singh 94.4% people said they shall not vote him again if he doesnt support Jan Lokpal in Parliament. In the state of UP, 91.8% people of Mainpuri, Mulayam Singhs (SP) constituency supported Jan Lokpal along with 98.3% people of Amethi, Rahul Gandhis (Cong) constituency and 97% people of Ambedkar Nagar, Rakesh Pandeys (BSP) constituency. Sanjay Singh, Prithvi Reddy, Mayank Gandhi, Swati Maliwal and Chandramohan, Core Committee members, who conducted Referendum in various parts of the state says that If Jan Lokpal Bill is not passed in Winter Session, then Uttar Pradesh is prepared for the next phase of agitation. People have demonstrated through referendum that they wont vote for congress. Across the country, a thumping majority of people support the Jan Lokpal. In Chhapra Bihar, 94.3% people said that they will not vote for Lalu Yadav (RJD) again if he doesnt support the Jan Lokpal in Standing Committee and Parliament. As also in Manish Tiwaris constituency, Ludhiana, 95.8% people said that they want their MP to support Jan Lokpal. Referendum was carried out in total 16 constituencies across the country, over a span stretching from 25th September onwards. Out of total 20 members from Lok Sabha in Standing Committee, Referendum was carried out in constituencies of 10 people such as Lalu Prasad, Manish Tiwari, Kirti Azad and others. Besides them, a Referendum was carried out in the constituencies of prominent leaders of important national parties such as Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Rajnath Singh, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Lalji Tandon and Murali Manohar Joshi. The Volunteers reached out to People with a Form which had basically one question Will you Vote for your MP if he doesnt support Jan Lokpal? To get maximum Forms filled, the Volunteers went door-to-door, set up kiosks, village markets, and targeted crowded places such as markets, parks etc. Conducting a Referendum is indeed a painstaking and an exhaustive exercise for the Volunteers. As India Against Corruption doesnt have any cadre as such, but a network of Volunteer base of selfmotivated people. Our Volunteers accomplished such a mammoth task purely driven by the feeling of Self-less Work for the Country. Thakur Devendra Singh, who Volunteered to accomplish the Referendum in Ghaziabad says People must not be scared from their Representatives. We should be able to comfortably and continually convey our demands to our Elected Representatives. We had taken the Referendum Form to Rajnath Singhs house also, and got it filled. The results of 14 constituencies are being declared today.
