Taxpayers have right to question their accountability – Supreme court of India

NOB_Taxpayers

The Supreme Court decided to set up a committee to set up the All India Organization of Taxpayers, which will be the largest organization in the world. No government can announce free electricity, free water, free distribution or loan waivers without the approval of this body. Since the money belongs to our taxpayers, taxpayers should have the right to monitor its use. Political parties keep wooing people by distributing freebies for votes because it benefits them. Whatever schemes are announced, the government should first give their blueprints and take consent from this organization. The same applies to salaries of MPs & MLAs and other non-discretionary benefits received by them. Taxpayers should also have the right to hold MPs and MLAs accountable and take disciplinary action against them for disrupting the proceedings of Parliament. They are “servants” after all, paid by the taxpayers. The right to recall such “freebies” is also immediately exercisable.
