"Right To Recall (RTR)" is a proposed law in India that would allow citizens to replace public servants holding key posts in the government.

History

The Right to recall Bill was introduced in Lok Sabha by C. K. Chandrappan in 1974 and Atal Bihari Vajpayee had supported this.[1] Social activist Anna Hazare during his protests had been campaigning for Right to Recall and right to Reject.[2][3][4][5]

This Right has been debated and highlighted in Indian politics.[6] [7] [8]

The Representation of the People (Amendment) Bill, 2016 was introduced by Varun Gandhi in Lok Sabha.[9][10]
