There is demand for certain sections to give a right to voters to reject all candidates if they do not find any one suitable. However, is it not duty of voters to elect a candidate. Rejecting all- What does this mean? Can such super intelligent voters not field some candidate of their own preference? The dates for nomination and withdrawal are already known to all.
The latest supporter of the 'right to reject is the vice President.

I heard last time those who rejected all members treated like terrorists.
I think 49 o form is available for rejecting all the members. [not sure]
Rejecting all members option is there but this does not affect the results. One who gets more votes is elected and the votes of those who reject all candidates are just wasted. What you think is correct. 49 O is the form for rejecting all candidates.
B) Rejecting all members option is useful if minimum numbers of votes to win decided. Other wise no benefit of this rule.

Many people feel scared to become politician and give good government to the country. Hence voters must not have right to reject all. They are themselves responsible for this.
I agree. It is amusing to imagine the consequences of 'reject all' in various activities. Suppose that you reject all recipes- Indian, European, continental, what will happen? You will be hungry. similarly, if you reject all educations systems- Convent, CBSE, state Board, what will happen? Your child will remain illiterate. similarly, if you reject all candidates in election, what will happen? The parliament will be without members and country will be without government and there will be only chaos, disorder and anarchy.
I had first heard about this when Anna Hazare was on fast in August 2011 and there was a national movement against corruption. I really don't know the technicalities. But even if there is any such thing available, how practical will it be? What if all candidates are rejected in a certain locality and no one is elected either?

Presently, there is no right to recall. But if a member of parliament indulges in grave misconduct on floor of house or defects from parliament, the speaker may take appropriate action including removing him from membership. In this connection, please refer to following article on this site.
