Why Vote

Well the BMC election were just held in the city and the results of these elections are out. approximately only 46% mumbaites voted in this elections. The ruling Shiv Sena and BJP alliance have been voted back into power, or have been voted back to heading the Muncipal Cooperation. The one features that has been appearing in many newspapers the pass few days is why people didn't excercise their constitutional right to vote. Celebrity and normal mortals like you and me. Whats interesting to read is their execuses for not doing so. The celebrity had the usual execuse, they will not be in town. Have to attendsome celbrity do somewhere around the globe or they are on their vacation. Among the gemeral public the common execuse is that they didn't trust any political party, or their area was not well looked after, or the roads were not properly done, or they were looking at the 26/7 flods for an excuse. Or even the resevations. Well whatever reason these people have for not voting, which is more than half of the population of Mumbai, they actually allowed the parties they blamed for their ordeal to come back into power instead of doing the opposite. The funny thing its these celebreties and people who will be complaining about the state of affairs in papers and whatever medium they have. After not voting do they have the right to complain????

Well there were those people who wanted to vote but couldn't vote. Because they were not registered voter, or their names were not transferred to the new area they moved to. Or their jobs didn't give them any time or any intimation. Me included :)
