Right to reject

By-poll results for state-assemblies now in Madhya Pradesh and Odisha just after Rajasthan a month ago, sound like a warning-bell for the ruling BJP. Trend of changing mood of voters reflects them to be in a state of confused mind by not being aligned to one side. Increase of vote-share for None of the above (NOTA) is increasing day by day. Time has come for experimenting Right to Reject.

NOTA should now be given some practical value by making a provision of re-poll to be held in case of NOTA getting highest votes. But to avoid any chain of re-elections caused by NOTA again winning the re-election in such case, NOTA button may be disabled in subsequent re-election caused by NOTA getting maximum votes. But all those getting votes less than NOTA should be disqualified to contest any election in life-time. System will make political parties put best possible candidates so as to avoid NOTA winning election, and in practice will avoid any such possibility of NOTA winning in future.
