Why we need to monitor our Elected Representatives (ER’s)
• Steady decline in the quality of governance in the last three
decades.
• Growing frustration amongst citizens.
• Elections – the only time when citizens get a ‘real’ say.
• Looking at the growing deficiency in governance and the
increasing needs of the citizens. We believe there is a need
for a continuous dialogue with the ER’s and have developed a
report card on the Performance of the ER’s which can form
the basis of such a Dialogue.
2
The Constitution as a Basis for monitoring of Elected
Representatives
• ERs derive their powers for functioning through the
Constitution
• They are mandated to Attend Sessions, Raise people’s Issues,
Debate, Participate in Discussions and Pass legislations.
• The Constitution defines their powers and rules of
functioning, hence only the Constitution can provide the
parameters for their monitoring.

Observations
• Probity: Mangesh Sangle, who got the first rank in the 2011 report card, dropped to 20th
in 2013 because of low attendance and a new charge sheet, then recovered to the 6th
position due to improved attendance and consistency in his other parameters.
• Multiple Parameters: Sardar Tara Singh’s rank has gone down from 3rd in 2011 to 15th in
2012 due to a new charge sheet, then recovered to 10th in 2013 due to increase in overall
perception and quality of questions and is now down to 24th due to drop in attendance,
questions asked and overall perception. Bala Nandgaonkar who has asked 4933 questions
(12% of total) has never been in top three as asking questions is just one aspect of the
gradation system but there are many more parameters such as quality of questions,
attendance, criminal record, perception, etc.
• Consistency: Yogesh Sagar has remained in the top four in all years and Numero Uno for
the last three years due to his consistent scores in all parameters. Similarly his party
colleague, Prakash Maheta has remained in the bottom five in all the years.
