RE:We cowardly Indians

VERY VERY IMP.

Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section ' 49-O ' that a person can go to the polling
booth,confirm his identity, get his finger marked, and convey the presiding election officer that he / she doesn't want to vote anyone !Yes, such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called ' 49-O '.Why should you go and say 'I VOTE NOBODY ' ? ... Because, in a ward, if
a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received ' 49-O' votes more than 123 , then that polling will be
cancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them
