We need to be critical about this "right to recall". Indian subcontinent appears to be undergoing a constant demographic change, though its pace and extent varies from place to place. Legislators are now increasingly getting conscious and excited over the new found phenomenon that a *development initiative* is all what is needed to drive out their adversaries from their habitats. A new project inserted in such a premise would soon see a new demographic contour, whose appearance will be to the liking of every legislator, one that will fetch the legislator more rewards than punishment. Against this backdrop, a right to recall is worthless - especially since the antagonising voters would have already evicted their territory. The newly moved in *voters* would find nothing wrong with the legislator. If election commission came out with a report on how much voters have been effected during every franchise, the extent of this cunningness will get exposed. Till now, we were given to understand that its to incorporate the new eligible voters or make corrections on existing voters list that such an exercise is being carried out. Unless this comes, we may not be able to silence the development-pied-piper and its followers.
