One solution to this would be to add an additional option in the Candidate List. That is "None of the Above". Atleast one could express themselves by disapproving of all the other candidates as compared to not voting at all.Though the number of votes casted in favour of "None" should not effect the results of the election, atleast it would send a strong message to people that there is a need for good candidates to join politics may be as an Independent and may be next time around more good people would be encouraged to join politics which would gradually change the political scenario of this country in the years to come.

so, you get up, get dressed, go to polling booth, get in line, wait your turn and then check off "none of the above" and come home smilingly

There already exists a form (i guess its 49A) with each Polling officer at each and every polling booth. In case you feel there are no deserving candidate, then you can ask the polling officer for this form. If a majority of the people use this form, then none of the politicians from that constituency can stand for elections again.
But the sad part is that not many people know about it.... i guess now that you know, you can use it

D I CK head Neharu gave away 500 sq km area to china in 64 waar.now china eying arunachal pradesh.......
The Mumbai voter is pampered with luxuries.. so to improve turnout make things comfortable, make all polling booths air conditioned, serve free ice cold limbu pani to all in que, have valet parking for all those who self drive to the polling booth, set up mandals with fans so people dont have to stand in sun and make voting online for the few very literate who refuse to step out of their airconditioned houses,,, most important dont keep elections so that it is clubbed with holdays like this one .. imagine 30th, 1st may holday, 2nd saturday and 3rd sunday a nice big 4 day weekend.. mumbaikars went on holiday to goa, to Bangkok Singapore and to Nepal maybe even Goldcoast Australia or the French Mediterranean.. so the low turnout ..

the south guys have black highly sun tanned skin and this can withstand even 48 degrees in the sun, most of us are fairer and our skin delicate, which cant bear the sun.. so lower turnout

Congress is not the solution for all ills. They are actually the reason for all ills in this country. That is why even after 60 years muslims & the poor are still backward. Throw out the Congress.

Dear Mr. Advani We all are hoping that you win this elections. It was pleasure doing buisness with you last timw when you released me and my collegues from the indian jail, where congress party was responsible for arresting us and also thanks for the 25 million dollars which came along with it. After you released us we planned several attacks on india like akarsdhaam, parliament, Train blast in mumbai and the Mumbai 26/11. we tried our best to use the money which you gave us.
And yes, please do convey my thanks to Mr. Jaswant Singh, who personally eascorted us in the government plane along with the cash. it was good talking to him and exchanging the views.
Please do come to power as we would like to do business with you again and we do have some of our people in indian jails and need some hard cash to plan more.

HMMM, I guess BJP should have let those 170 passengers die at the hands of those terrorists? that would have been the right thing to do? if BJP had done that, then D O G S like Meh would have barked that they are emotionless. These terrorists should be banned on the message board rediff. This is a mini pakistan in India speaking.
Re: Re: Re: letter of thanks from JEM chief

yes...and the same terrorist which was released by Advani killed hundresd more by using our own money.

Congress and so called secular parties were part of the meeting in which it was decided to release the terrorist against the release of hostages. So the secular parties are equally involved.

Congress is Killer of Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of Ram Rajya They established Izlam Rajya in India
1- No land for Amarnath Yatri -But 100s crores of rupees for haj. 2- Saying anything in defence of Hind00s is Punishable under NSA – But anything against Hind00s is appreciable. i) Musslims have 1sr right on Indian resources-MMS ii) "Tilak Tarazu aur Talwar, Inko Maro Joote Chaar".-Mayawati iii) He would have crushed Varun to death under a road roller had he been the home minister- Lalu …….Cont….. 3- RSS , Bajran Dal, Shiv Sena are Terrorist Outfit- But SIMI, IM Etc are Patriotic. 4- 10000s Innocent ppl killed by terrorists -No arrests,No search ,No Strict Rules like POTA and don’t call it Izlamic Terrorism- But only 6 Musslims were killed ,11 arrests, 44 Narco tests,Such a big prapoganda of Hind00 terrorism and wide search of temples and ashrams
