Will Indian Government Act Upon Its Promises?

Recently the BJP has announced that it would keep a close watch on the promises made by the Congress led Government. This is really a very good step to not only maintain “Democracy” but also to keep “Checks and Balances” upon the ruling Government so that it may not pass Legislations in a “Casual Manner” as it did during the December, 2008 session of the Parliament.

Perry4Law would also “Systematically Analyse” the Policies and Strategies of GOI for its five year tenure in general and 100 days promised period in particular.

Indian Government’s 100 Days Workplan Under Scanner

Perry4Law has been providing the “Critical Analysis” of the Governmental Policies from time to time. It has also decided to “Systematically Analyse” the Policies and Strategies of GOI for its five year tenure in general and 100 days promised period in particular. A special attention would be given to techno-legal issues including e-governance in India, legal enablement of ICT systems in India, cyber law in India, cyber security in India, cyber forensics in India, e-courts in India, etc. Similarly, special attention would be given to policy issues pertaining to information and communication technology (ICT).

Fortunately, BJP has announced that it would also keep a close watch on the promises made by the Congress led Government. A good strategy for BJP would be to keep ready its own ideas and policies that are not only sensible but also good alternatives for the proposed policies by the government. With this we can hope for better laws and effective and transparent governance in India.
