Choice in shikaripur
by Vikas on May 19, 2008 05:38 PM  Permalink 

voters have a choice:

1. vote for yeddyurappa and get a chief minister.
2. vote for bangarappa, and watch all parties refusing to make him a minister, and he resigns his MLA seat, to continue as an MP.

Democracy is help less in the hand of corrupt politicians and parties, Constitution say's one must vote it is individual's power. I have a question how any body vote to a criminal. 124 criminals majority elects a chief criminal to rule karnataka. people have seen for the power and how politicians behave. today he is in a party next day he resigns the party since not getting the seat to contest and joins another party. I swear I can't vote to any blady politicians. they will visit villagers only during elections and hug them pray them afyer the wining is done he is back to kings's life and start looting. I welcome boycotting the voting. they are clean , I have all respect to them they are not at least voting for 100 rs money.

NDTV's EXit Poll, Bad News to BJP
by Pop Head on May 16, 2008 12:58 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

The 1st Phase polling of Karnataka Elections have been completed. There were two exit polls - the first by NDTV and other by Cfore-Kannada Prabha-Survana TV. Both predicted diametrically opposite results.

Exit polls are only effective as statistical revelations: What they reveal is suggestive and what they conceal is vital!

NDTV headlines put smiles back on the faces of BJP supporters for Bangalore

Vote Swing -4% Congress 4% BJP 0% JD(S)

What they concealed were the numbers that mattered:

Vote Share 40% Congress 35% BJP 18% JD(S)

A cursory look at the second set of numbers would immediately wipe the smiles off the faces of BJP and their supporters. A 5% vote share difference implies that it is more or less a statical deadheat. Seats can be won or lost on margins as low as 500 votes. NDTV projections just gave the BJP the benefit that coin will fall in their favor. It could be very well be the other way around.

Cfore looks more accurate. While it gave Congress more seats - 39-41 for 1st Phase, it managed to capture the churn in Bangalore - massive 11% swing in BJP favor - BJP-Cong 42% each in Bangalore. Congress and BJP spilt Bangalore 13-14 seats each.

2004 party positions for Phase II were 33 BJP; 20 Congress, 11 JDS.

If 2008 results - Congress 25 BJP 33 JDS 4, this will be a good result as 40 seats (Phase1) and 25 seats (Phase II) will catapult Congress to overall 65 seats (2004) with still one Phase to go

Your post is very complicated but I can discern the good news. Congress is coming back to power in Karnataka. Good for the people of Karnataka and the people of India!

Salute the villagers for boycotting elections
by george eves on May 16, 2008 12:32 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

i really am happy that at least a small number of villages in karnataka are begining to realise thats its time to wake up and botcotte these elections, its very hard for us small people to get our work done by these greedy politician,they just roam around,on foriegn trips wasting the money of the public but doing nothing for the country other that filling their pockets its time out people stand together and take an example from these few villages and boycotte more election so in the furthure political parties will be more careful in selecting candidates for the future

There is a provision in the constitution if u want to boycott the poll. That is called 49-O vote. Cast your vote using this facility to raise ur voice.

Why you want to waste resources (manpower and machines)? one letter from the village to election commission is enough.

Your thinking is similar to naxalites. Instead of boycotting they could have send their own representative to Vidhan Sudha. By criticizing one will not get solution unless you work on some alternative.
