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.
