STRATEGY
|
|
Why focus on getting leaders first to the neglect of grassroots?
|
|
- 1. How are you going to win 300 seats?
|
|
- 2. Why is FTI insisting on 300 seats as a goal, and not aiming in a step-wise manner?
|
|
ROLE OF FTI
|
|
Purpose of this group
|
|
- 3. Is FTI a political group or a political party? Will it become a political party? Will it remain as a common platform or coalition for different political parties and independents with shared beliefs?
|
|
- 4. What is the main purpose of this group? If it is merely to *discuss* and propose various ideas, this is a think tank NOT a political party…and we may or may not need leaders but thinkers!
|
|
- 5. Has the strategy of convincing existing parties to improve their candidates or offer incentives for performance/integrity to politicians and administrators been considered? (FTI could then become a lobby group that applies various types of pressure to reforms in governance as well provides expertise.)

|
VALUE PROPOSITION
|
|
Why would any leader join FTI?
|
|
- 6. If I am potential *leader* (i.e. willing to contest elections at some point), what is the *advantage* to me of joining this group? Is it in having an established cadre/support base? Is it in having access to resources (crudely speaking money)? Is it in having access to some organised support (e.g. FICCI, CII, trade unions etc)?
|
|
RESOURCES
|
|
Where will resources come from?
|
|
- 7. This effort will need time and money – a lot of money! If we have to wait for 1500 people to come together before starting the process of raising resources, that maybe a long way off!
