49-O in Constitution of India : I VOTE NOBODY

Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 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 seemingly notorious 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….

Please spread this news to as many as you know…
Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India … show your power, expressing your desire not to
vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting… so don’t miss your chance. So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on…

Use your voting right for a better INDIA

Zen Carbon

I have been owning this black beauty from Maruti stable, for more than 3 years and man! it still ups my adrenaline when i take it out for a long drive.

Thinking of the crap review on mouthshut.com on this car, which I had come across when googling for information on this car – when I had set out to buy this few years back -  I guess the author  never had even driven it for 1 KM even or does not know what a sports car means!.

The best thing to the eye is the pleasing contrast  (black and brownish golden) of the leather interiors ( will post a picture of this soon ). What sets the adrenaline racing is the superb acceleration. The MPFI engine in Carbon is supposed  to quite different from ordinary Zen.The other cool thing about Carbon was the rear windows which open  45 degrees from the rear – giving it a stylish sporty  look.

I have seen only two other Zen Carbon around in Bangalore. Have to proudly admit that zooming amongst the  Santro’s, Getz’, Swift’s a Zen Carbon definitely invites more than a glance from the passersby :)
