No; don't hang them. Strip off and then beat them up on the road until their last breath.

Yes, be pratical and you take initiative and work for 'NOT TO VOTE'. Let these politicians go to hell.

I feel sorry dear, because I am unable to give you a hand as I am far away from Mumbai. God bless you and am sure the entire Maharashtrian will support you.

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.

Aparna this applies for the US of A and not for India. You think our politicians are so naive enough to keep such a thing lying around for us...Dont underestimate them. If such a thing had been there they would have amended it long back. Our politicians deserve just one thing and that is Hitlers gas chamber!
