It's a pity that a city that gives almost 40% tax returns to Central Govt. has to suffer the same odds every year. I consider myself lucky that I don't have to stay there.

The 40% tax is used for building houses for slums only to secure their votes and hence no money to spend on the basic infrastructure for this city, this is the one reason they are not stopping people from other states and not developing other states. THis is all politics and we like fool vote every year to these bureacrates

Then the representatives should be made to walk in water logged area and travel through crowded trains from virar to Chuchgate during peak hours and when the trains are raining behind scheduled they should not be surrounded by body guards, they should be asked to hide their identity so they will know what problems the common men faces. These representatives are really fit for nothing

I am not frustrated, i quite kool i am proud that i stay in Mumbai and a part of all its ups and downs. The message is only to bring awarness to the people who do not want to vote. I don't go for voting, so it hardly matters. But when we have the rights why not use them only when required. ANd secondly i am enjoying rains so even if water loggs i can manage I am gret because I stay in Mumbai a city with ups and downs, so you also enjoy rains and let people talk any bullshit of Mumbai, Mumbai is mumbai and has its own Karsima, what say

Then lets not vote read the below article Do 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 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.
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....
Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is ven more powerful than voting... so don't miss your chance.
So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this information.

thats a load of nonsense about mumbai's corporate tax contribution ,which i have been hearing for years. The fact is many corporations are headquatered in mumbai but have factories all over india and all over the world. so tata has factories in places like bihar and jharkhand and tea gardens in the north east. most of the income for these companies comes from places outside bombay. so lets stop blowing mumbai's contribution out of propertion

You say it is courage when somebody slaps you and you don't mind that and do your usual work until after sometime you are again bashed but you still keep calm. Is this called courage or hizda mentality

It is shame that you are taking pride in going to work next day after every calamity.Of course you have been reduced to a sitiuation where you have no option but to go for work as one can not afford to stay back at home no matter how many people die in a calamity.I pity on Mumbaikars.I would have been proud if Mumbai open its eyes for happenings around it.
