Besides, we can join hands with voter groups who have similar issues
such as elderly people and probably with their support our lobby will be
much more potent and stronger. We simply refuse to organise as a group
and that is the basic issue as far as I am concerned.

Why should parties bother about us? We cannot influence the result of an
election. We hardly constitute 2 or 3 % of the voters of an area.

Dear Suryanarayana,
You are absolutely right. Elections come and go but our problems
should
remain same forever. As per 2001 census 2.21 crore persons around two
percentage of Indian population is with various disabilities. In 2004
general elections no political party has touched the problems of the
differently abled. Even till today no political party included the
problems of the differently abled in to the election manifestoes of
coming
Loksabha elections. India claims it is a welfare state. But what
about
the welfare of the physically challenged? Is there any political
party
ready to cater needs of physically challenged? How long shall we wait
for
the mercy of the political leaders?
Our political participation is totally neglected. In 2004 Supreme
court
of India issued guide lines for arranging ramps and Braille E V M s
for
the voting of persons with disabilities which were not properly
implemented even in recent Assembly elections. As per our population
of
2001 two percentage seats I.E. 11 seats should be allotted to the
persons
with disabilities. Is there any political party ready to offer two
percentage of seats to the Physically challenged persons? Is it not
our
political right to claim proportionate political representation? If
political participation is not provided, who will plead our rights and
problems in the Parliament?
It is the right time to educate and express our demands before the
political parties. All NGOs should together play active role in
including
the demands of the differently abled in to the election manifestoes of
every political party.
With kind regards,
G. Janardhana Naidu.

Hello friends,
My conscious doesn't allow me to keep quiet without discussing the
following with all the list.
Most of our visually impaired friends off the list. You might have
observered my grievences about coins in my previous posting t5o this
list. Now I'm going to propose another way to achieve our demands to
lead
a comfortable life.
It is the time for general elections Every lobbying is trying
influence
the political parties through their agenda.
I feel better; if we represent our demands with the political
parties. At
least they can understand what our needs are. Our demands should be
just
like:
1. The act of 1995 should be implemented with zeal and courage,
2. The minting of coins should be addressed our needs,
3. Seeking more reservation in govt jobs and promotions,
4. Setting up of more computer institutes for b.h. candidates,
5. Establishment of coaching centres for civil services and
other
govt jobs,
6. Betterment of working conditions of b.h. by providing
computers
and other fecilities.
I hope our friends in Delhi in national level and our friends in
different capitals of respected states can do it. I ask for your
forgiveness, If I wrongly stated. Please respond me in order to
uplift
our present levels. All of your suggestions are deeply appreciated.
With hopes,
Surya,
