How to Share Civic Feedback in 8 Seconds Using Seedhi Baat

Sharing civic feedback in India has historically meant navigating bureaucratic queues, writing formal letters, and waiting months for a response. Seedhi Baat changes this by routing your feedback directly to your elected Lok Sabha MP in under 8 seconds.

What You Need Before You Start

You need three things: your name, your mobile number, and knowledge of your Lok Sabha constituency. If you don't know your constituency, you can find it on the Election Commission of India's Voter Portal (voters.eci.gov.in) using your EPIC number.

Step 1 — Join the Waitlist

Visit the Seedhi Baat waitlist and enter your name, phone number, email, and constituency. You'll receive a unique referral code that tracks your position in the queue.

Step 2 — Select Your Feedback Category

Seedhi Baat categorises feedback into: Infrastructure (potholes, roads, drainage), Utilities (water, power, sanitation), Safety (street lights, stray animals), and Governance (MPLADS fund usage, office access). Selecting the right category ensures your feedback reaches the correct parliamentary committee for follow-up.

Step 3 — Describe the Problem in 280 Characters

You don't need to write a formal petition. A 280-character description — the same length as a tweet — is enough. Be specific: include the locality, the nature of the problem, and how long it has persisted. "Pothole on MG Road near Post Office, 3 months unrepaired, caused 2 accidents" is far more actionable than "bad roads".

Step 4 — Submit and Track

Once submitted, you receive a feedback ID. The system timestamps your submission and logs it against your MP's public accountability record. Phase 2 of Seedhi Baat will show average resolution times per constituency on the public leaderboard.

Why 8 Seconds?

The RTI Act 2005 gives citizens the right to seek information from public authorities — but RTI responses can take 30-90 days. Seedhi Baat is not an RTI replacement; it is a direct signal to your elected representative. Under Article 19(1)(a) of the Constitution, every citizen has the right to express grievances to their representatives. Seedhi Baat makes that right frictionless.
