A draft of this bill can be found at the link given below for your perusal and action. As you are aware, all political parties are resorting to freebies, some of them may be logical and much needed, however, some of them are not required and lack fiscal prudence on behalf of the political parties and their candidates. Political parties often realize this mistake sooner (or) later after forming their own governments. Election Manifestos are meant to provide a strong vision and action agenda of political parties as to how the political parties would contribute to holistic reforms and inclusive development of different sections of the society. Every time a political party makes an election promise, and fails to deliver on it for whatever reason, it undermines the trust and faith of the people in the democratic processes, institutions and, ultimately, the democracy itself. Therefore, it is in the interest of all the people, society and nation that the trust in the very idea of democracy be enhanced and strengthened. This draft legislation marks a significant step in that direction. I appeal to the both of you to gather inspiration from our Hon'ble Former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ji who enacted Fiscal Responsibility & Budget Management Act in 2003 for the purpose of ushering in an era of 'fiscally responsibility and prudence in governance'. This draft legislation attempts to usher in an era of 'fiscally responsibility in electoral politics' under your esteemed and magnanimous leadership.

Political parties often realize this mistake sooner (or) later after forming their own governments. Unfortunately, even the parties like BJP which had advocated for fiscal responsibility are resorting to making unsound election promises (that are detrimental to the fiscal position and financial health of governments and states across the country). Election Manifestos are meant to provide a strong vision and action agenda of political parties as to how these parties would contribute to holistic reforms and betterment of different sections of the society.

Working Papers involving ongoing research in key focus areas involving humanities and social sciences research. Working Papers Working Paper #1 Justice or Punishment-centred? Comparative Study of IPC/BNS, CrPC/BNSS and IE/BSA Authors: Akhil Chirravuri & Snehitha Pachipulusu A comparative study of old criminal laws and the new criminal laws 1 year after its implementation. Debunking narratives on the justice-centric approach and the grey areas that were deliberately left out by the Government to check civilian liberties. Working Paper #3 Comeback & Build India: NRI Concerns, Needs, Engagement Strategy & Way Forward to Enable Brain Circulation Authors: Akhil Chirravuri A comparative study of international best practices from Israel, China, and Ireland demonstrates that successful diaspora engagement models prioritize mutual benefit, targeted incentives, and private-sector-led knowledge networks. These nations have effectively transformed "brain drain" into "brain circulation," where human capital moves fluidly to generate value for both the country of origin and the host country. Project Name A comparative study of old criminal laws and the new criminal laws 1 year after its implementation. Debunking narratives on the justice-centric approach and the grey areas that were deliberately left out by the Government to check civilian liberties. Aa Working Paper #2 India's Upcoming Socio-Economic Caste Census – Challenges, Mitigation & Lessons from 2011 SECC & other International Ethnic Census Enumeration Experiences Authors: Akhil Chirravuri This report establishes the logical and constitutional necessity of a nationwide Socio-Economic Caste Census (SECC) as an indispensable tool for evidence-based policymaking and the fulfillment of India's social justice mandate. The absence of contemporary, empirical data on caste has created a policy vacuum, forcing the state to rely on outdated, nearly century-old statistics for the implementation of constitutionally mandated affirmative action programs. Project Name A comparative study of old criminal laws and the new criminal laws 1 year after its implementation. Debunking narratives on the justice-centric approach and the grey areas that were deliberately left out by the Government to check civilian liberties.
