Right to eject politicians makes parties jittery

Voters of three nagar panchayats in Chhattisgarh took out a victory procession recently. No, they hadn’t elected their favourite candidate but voted out a leader they didn’t like. Chattisgarh has become the second state after Madhya Pradesh to vote out an elected representative by using the Right To Recall. The legislation allows people of a constituency to move the Election Commission and seek a vote of recall.
