1. SMS Campaign by Vikalp Party for gathering and displaying on internet Voter number support for an issue
We have started a campaign of citizen-voters sending sms-instructions to MP, MLA etc. public servants and have registered some pro-common solutions by their sms codes also to be sent by a voter by sms to our website as verifiable proof of the demand to the public servant.
Support or oppose opinions of citizens will be displayed on website along with the Voter ID numbers of the citizens. Anyone can find address of a sample of the voter ID numbers, contact them and himself/herself cross-verify whether the data is true or false, meaning the Voter ID number internet data generated by the citizens sending SMS-es is CITIZEN-VERIFIABLE. (See this link for list of registered SMS-codes -
http://sms.brvp.org/showissue.php)
2. How will Vikalp Party get implemented RTR-CM etc. proposed Gazette Notification and what can YOU (common citizen) do until it is implemented ?
Until, the proposed law-procedure comes on Gazette of India (government notification magazine), Right to Recall system implemented on our website via this Public SMS counting server can be used wherein common man does not have to suffer for 5 years to change their representative. People can register with us with their Voter ID number and display, support or oppose complaints etc. on affidavit on our website with their Voter ID number and with a majority of votes can pressurize their representative to be replaced.
Any Voter can get registered with the website and register his complaint/suggestion on affidavit along with Voter number as per procedure mentioned in this page. If there are more than 5000 Voter number supports of registered users for an issue on our website, Vikalp Party will take up the issue with PM, CM etc. Public Servants. If any of the representative denies to fulfill the demand we will ask them to announce their reason to commons, why they are refusing?
Compared to signature support, Voter ID internet support is authentic. Because commons cannot cross-verify the signatures nor can commons contact the signature giver and obtain more information while citizens can get address from Voter ID number and contact and cross-verify.
All this Voter number support data is displayed on this site which can be downloaded by anyone in excel format. We encourage all to collect in their area Voter number support for their favorite issue on an excel sheet and share it with all on social media and ask others to do the same. And all Voter number support of all excel sheets for an issue can be merged and duplicates can be removed.
If in an area, sufficient number of citizens publicly display and prove their support on internet via Voter ID number and demand from their Public servants, this procedure will come in that area and crime and corruption etc. will reduce in that area.
Example – Right To Information first came in Rajasthan in 1999 when thousands from all walks of life demanded for it. Then, it spread to other states and got implemented in the whole country.
3. Methods which are usually used today by Citizens to communicate with their representatives and vice versa are not citizen-verifiable or authentic and so fail to give results
So, if you are the MP, MLA, Corporator or the chosen representative of your area, how will you and all other citizens come to know what the citizens of the area want you to do ? How will you and other citizens know which laws and systems the Citizens want ? After all, your time is limited.
Let us see some ways which are being employed today for communication between citizens and their representatives.
Many parties and candidates claim that after winning, they will work for listening problems of the society and try to solve them. And they even give a grievance email id, grievance phone, sms number or address.
But the truth is `Your MP cannot hear you, Your MP can only count you.`
Yes, you read it correct - `Your MP cannot hear you, Your MP can only count you.` . Here MP means your MP, MLA, Corporator etc. public servant. Let us see how this statement is true.
Say each voter desires that MP should listen to him for 5 minutes. Now MP has 17 lakh voters and even 25% voters speak for 5 minutes each, it is 17 lakh * 25/100 * 5 minutes = about 21 lakh minutes . And even if MP spends 10 hours a day listening, then also it would take him over 8 years to 9 years !!! In Other Words, it is materially impossible for an MP to "hear" your speech or read your letter or read your sms. And it is impossible for PM. Even corporator who has 1 lakh voters won`t be able to hear voters below him.
If elite want to put their views before public, then they can do it easily via their connections in media but if public wants to put their demands in front of the administration, then they are forced to use unorganized methods like Anshan-dharna, signature campaign, memorandum, blocking roadways, sloganeering, emails, Online Petition etc. But all these methods do not generate any citizen-verifiable proof, meaning there is no proof of support or oppose counts for a specific issue which other citizens can themselves contact and cross-verify. Since these methods are not citizen-verifiable, these methods are not reliable and citizens or officials cannot make any definite conclusions based on these.While honest officials are unable to work according to what the citizen-voters want, dishonest officials easily escape by saying that `The support signatures etc. are not authentic.` or `We will look into matter. Right now, we are working on very important issues.`
In government sites like pgportal.gov.in, citizens have no option to display their complaints, opinions etc. along with their Voter ID number and due to this other citizens cannot know whether the complaint filer is a genuine person or fake.
In some other grievance systems given by Governments, you cannot see your own complaint without logging in. Thus, if the Government officials do not take any suitable action, you cannot even show to other citizens in a verifiable manner the complaint and facts you have submitted.
Methods like email, signature campaign, online petition etc. , are not citizen-verifiable and using them, citizens are unable to reach their voice properly to the representatives.
If Email fails, we cannot know reason for that and we cannot know whether the person whom we sent the email has read the email or not.
Please note that instructions sent to MP via email are useless because email IDs can`t be linked with voter number, fake email ids can be created, email can be spoofed etc.
4. Proposed Citizens` Verifiable Media (CVM) Portal
Also, aim of this website is to demonstrate and demand for a government system where people after registering their voter id and mobile number can give their opinions via SMS short codes. And this opinion of the citizens along with their voter id will be VISIBLE to all on a government site without logging in and will be VERIFIABLE and can be cross-verified by any other citizen by means of voter-id.
A prominent SAFEGUARD FOR CITIZENS feature of this system is that it is immune to money buyout,
media power and gangster power since the citizen is empowered to change anyday his/her opinion.
This system is also known as Citizens` Verifiable Media Portal (CVM) or Transparent Complaint-Proposal Procedure (TCP)
Today, we are divided by parties, religion, caste, creed, issues etc. Let us unite under SMS-campaign
to MPs/MLAs, etc. public servants without any need to leave your party etc. Now let us individually
or in groups do something which will benefit the commons and at same time unite all citizens against
the evil, corrupt forces who want to loot the commons.
5. All Citizens should make a common demand for a Public SMS counting server from their favorite neta or Public Servant as it helps promote all issues
Besides sending instructions for your favorite demand via SMS/twitter, also send sms/twitter-instruction demanding that the public mobile of your MP or public servant or an election candidate in your area be linked to their website, so that all public opinion sent to the public servant via sms can be seen and verified by all. Also mention in the sms-instruction that it will take only a few days for the public servant to set up such a public sms server, failing which you will not vote for them or their party.
By making this common demand, we all citizens can come on a common platform and unite. Just, citizens have to send 2 SMS-es. Please continue reading to find out how to send the SMS-es and where to send the SMS-es.
4 Steps for sending sms-instruction codes for MPs to this site
To send a sms for a registered issue which will appear on our link - sms.brvp.org/showcodes.php, any citizen-voter needs to first activate and register his/her voter id and mobile number with us by sending a sms containing his/her voter id from their mobile number to 09693938833
Please send activation-SMS to +919693938833 in format *YourVoterIDNumber*
(Put in words, the format of the activation-SMS should be that first you have to type * and
IMMEDIATELY after that you have enter your voter id number. And immediately after the voter id
number, type * and send sms in this format to 09693938833
Note - * means the special character `star` )
Note - Voter ID should be valid and found in the voter list.
You can check whether your voter ID is in the voter list from electoralsearch.in or from this list of links according to states/union territories, where you can find details of voter ID such as assembly name, polling station etc. by entering voter ID number or name as in voter ID - sms.brvp.org/find-assembly-name.php
For example -
*arp1234567*
where arp1234567 is a sample voter id (not real - only an example) in voter list.
Voters can also send a Code-sms for supporting or opposing registered issues on site to +919693938833 containing ONE registered code from the mobile used to send mobile activation-sms in the format explained in the previous step.
Voter can check status of their sent activation-SMS and other SMS-es by entering their mobile number in this link - sms.brvp.org/checkdetails.php
Citizens should also send a two line sms to his MP having his name, voter id or constituency and demanding that the MP link his website with his public mobile so that all the sms sent to his public mobile automatically get published on the website along with Voter ID of the citizen for all to see the opinion of the public in an objective manner.
Citizens can also inform other citizens and favourite netas about their sent sms-instructions to their MPs by putting them on their FB wall notes, any site on internet, meetings, pamphlets etc. so that others are also inspired to do the same.
After sending mobile-activation sms, Citizens should send Request for Registration of their Voter number and mobile at sms.brvp.org by one of the following ways
Our volunteer will verify and register the voter id and mobile of the voter. Voter can check status of their sent activation-SMS and other SMS-es by entering their mobile number in this link - sms.brvp.org/checkdetails.php
Once the mobile and voter ID is registered, the sent code SMS-opinions, along with
voter ID, will come on the registered page -
sms.brvp.org/showcodes.php
Country runs on what is printed in gazette (government magazine) , not on bhashans and slogans nor on just concepts. Gazette of India has detailed instructions - which official has to do what work.
For example - 500 and 1000 rupees note was banned not because PM gave a nice speech on it but because it was printed in the gazette (on instructions of the PM).
Whether a PM is doing bad or good, he/she has to give instructions which will be printed in gazette and other officials can follow them only if they are printed in the gazette.
So, activists and citizens must decide which drafts to be printed in the Gazette. Also, activists/citizens must instruct their Public servants – MPs, MLAs, favorite netas and election candidates via SMS, twitter etc. to demand BEFORE ELECTION via their website, twitter etc. which drafts they want to be printed in Gazette.
You may vote for the best person but please promote good procedure-drafts for good of country, you and your family.
MP/MLA can count us voters --- an MP/MLA can`t hear us -- Solution = Demand from MP via SMS and Twitter to make Public SMS Server
Now before we and you 85 crore voters send instructions via SMS etc., to our Public Servants, we should note that we commons can be only counted and not heard. i.e. MP can count us on 100s of issues, but he can`t hear even 1% of us. Let us explain.
Say each voter desires that MP should listen to him for 5 minutes.. Now MP has 17 lakh voters and even 25% voters speak for 5 minutes each, it is 17 lakh * 25/100 * 5 minutes = about 21 lakh minutes . And even if MP spends 10 hours a day listening, then also it would take him over 8 years to 9 years !!! In Other Words, it is materially impossible for an MP to "hear" your speech or read your letter or read your sms. And it is impossible for PM. Even MLA who has 3 lakh voters and corporator who has 1 lakh voters won`t be able to hear voters below him.
In Other Words, MP/MLA can count us voters --- MP or MLA can`t hear us.
But one PC can scan all the sent lakhs and crores of SMS containing links and hash of proposed Gazette Notification and tell MP etc Public Servant how many voters want law-draft-A, how many voters want law-draft-B and so on and can also display Voter number support details for Public to cross-verify.
So, Solution is to demand from the Public Servants or your favorite neta to make a Public SMS Counting Server like this one on their website for the voters of their area.
Other methods like Anshan-dharna, sloganeering, online petition, sending mails etc. are insufficient as they do not generate any citizen-verifiable proof of the public demands from their public servants. All these methods do not generate any citizen-verifiable proof, meaning there is no proof of support or oppose counts for a specific issue which other citizens can themselves cross-verify.
Since these methods are not citizen-verifiable, these methods are not relied upon and not taken seriously by citizens or officials. Without citizen-verifiable proof, no pressure is created on officials and they can easily give some excuse not to do required work. Only our MPs, MLAs etc. public servants have the power to make someone the PM or CM of this country or to put your favourite party into power or get printed solution-drafts in gazette and vote on procedure-drafts.
If you really want to support your favourite neta/party or you would like to get a solution-draft implemented, you must ALSO (along with your favorite method of support/protest) give necessary message-instructions to your MPs, MLAs, etc. public servants to immediately get started a motion in the parliament or assembly to make our favourite neta the PM or CM of the country or to promote your favourite party and also demand that the public servant links his mobile with his website so that the messages of the public are automatically published on the website and visible to all.
And citizens should give proof of sent sms-instructions to as many people as possible via FB wall-notes, blog, pamphlets, google-docs, Honest System Demo sites, meetings, etc. so that the public gets proof and others are also inspired to do the same.
To send a sms-instruction to a public servant and to show the proof of the sent sms-instructions to the public will take only 5-10 minutes of your time. But if even few thousand people do this in a loksabha area and the present public servant ignores this, the public servant will be exposed with proof and the future public servant will be forced to implement the objective demand of the public.
80% mobile numbers of MPs / MLAs are listed on the Loksabha / Vidhansabha website or website of Election Commission.
If your MP`s mobile number is not listed, please send sms-instruction to nearby of MP of same party and ask the sms-instruction to be forwarded to your MP.

Any citizen can choose a sample from the data, go to the chief electoral officer website of the respective state, enter the voter id and get the full details of the voter like address etc. and contact and cross-verify whether that person has given that opinion in reality or not.
So, the value of the data exists only if the data is CROSS-VERIFIABLE and that is only possible by tagging the data to voter id number.
If you do not have a voter id and just want to see demonstration of the site, just send any trial voter id between 10 and 16 characters like abc1234567 in the activation-sms in the correct format to 09693938833 For example - *abc1234567*
Then send the Code-sms for the issues registered here - sms.brvp.org/showissue.php
