Naagrik Sabha

The mohalla meeting. This is where real politics happens.

Once a month, the people of your mohalla sit together in one place. The broken road, the dry tap, the missing schoolteacher, the dark lane, the safety of your daughters: all of it is put on the table, and the candidate or elected representative answers to your face. This is where real politics lives. (The platform and dashboard power this meeting; they don't replace it.)

Who comes

Any citizen can attend, member or not. Volunteers come with the agenda. The local coordinator chairs. Any candidate or elected representative must attend, to answer questions.

When it happens

Default cadence: every active local unit holds at least one Naagrik Sabha each month. During elections or high-priority campaigns, the cadence shifts to every 15 days. Calendar is published in advance on the live dashboard; minutes go public within 48 hours.

Sabha rules

  • Speech with consent and respect: no anger, no abuse.
  • A 2-minute time limit per speaker so everyone gets a chance.
  • No identity-based talk, only issues.
  • Take minutes, take photos, publish within 48 hours.
  • Citizens may question any candidate or elected representative present. They're there to answer.

Citizen's guarantee

With no post, no money, no one's recommendation, you stand as tall in this room as any leader. These five things are yours at every Naagrik Sabha, every time.

  • Your active mohalla will have at least one Naagrik Sabha each month, and one every 15 days during elections.
  • Anyone can attend, no membership required.
  • You can put your issue in 2 minutes.
  • Your issue will be in the public minutes.
  • The candidate will answer in front of you.

There's no sabha in your area yet. You can start the first one.
