There hasn't any official proposal to vote on here. Though, the Aam Admi Party has been promising a clean and s corrupt free government if it comes to power, after which every other party has been following with announcements including the exact same statements. I would rather vote for a proposal for faster development of the country.

There have been statements by parties on withdrawing the allowance of foreign direct investments in retail industry, which was set in by the incumbent government and widely criticised for doing so.

As India is a diverse country there have been controversial and unconstitutional communal statements which are shameful to be talked about as we boast of being a secular socialist democratic republic.

There has not been a party with a perfectly general secular socialist ideology, like always in any election. I have been wondering why, even when the mass would like such a national party.

Exactly how were they going to do this?

The leader of Aam Admi Party, Arvind Kejriwal, nearly 3 years back, had drafted a bill along with a few other people from the civil society. It received a lot of media attention and was taken up widely by the public. This bill was rejected in parliament, after an extended session of parliament, which is said to be one of the main reasons to drop himself in mainstream politics. Look out for Jan Lokpal Bill (literally meaning People Governance Bill): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Lokpal_Bill

He was also one of the leading persons in the civil society to draft the Right to Information Act, 2005. His alma-mater being one the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology.

But he has lost credibility after resigning from the seat of governance moments after he couldn't pass the Jan Lokpal Bill in the state of Delhi, where his party formed the government recently, with himself being the Chief Minister.
