Are you going to vote in the coming elections? If yes, fine. No? Not going for
the election booth at all? Then you do not have any right to blame our impotent
politicians. Abstaining from the election process is other way of supporting
these useless politicians.
But if there is no good candidate, what to do? – Is it your question? Here is
the solution
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1961 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 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....
