Our party has full faith in the Constitution of India. The name of our party will be Vikalp Party or if this is rejected, Party will decide on alternate name.

Activist can also collect Voter number / address supports for an issue on a piece of paper along with summary and link of the issue and that piece of paper can be scanned and shared on internet.  Party has also created a platform for Voters to display their Voter number support for an issue – sms.brvp.org On this website, any voter can register and put his issue and other voters can can display publicly their support for that issue with their Voter number. Voter can change or cancel his / her support any day.  In this way, the issue will get more and more supports until it is implemented. Today, most parties or representatives leave the issue after being voted into power. But if the Voter number support for an issue is publicly displayed, then even if the party or the representatives leave the issue, even then the possibility that issue gets implemented and the issue reaches its goal increases.

After filling and submitting a form and after a small payment and after obtaining some Contribution points for the drafts and issues proposed by the party, that ordinary member can get active (full) membership of the party. Only an active member can vote on internal party matters.

Recall / Replacement of Party Post holders – President and Committee members at any level can be recalled / replaced at any time provided that compensation be given to the person being replaced.
