FROM – Wake Up Techies!! « Wake up Techies for Karnataka Elections!!
The Elections for Bangalore Assembly seats will be held on 10th May 2008. A swing of just 2000 votes can decide the winner of a constituency. You as a techie can create that swing. How? By enrolling people by word of mouth and by internet campaign. A winning candidate normally gets about 40,000 votes and the average difference between winning and losing candidates is just 4000 votes.
There are 28 assembly seats in Bangalore and there are about 10,000 software engineers (techies) in each constituency. So, techies are powerful enough to make a big swing in the elections and that can impact the outcome of assembly election in Karnataka.
Techies!! You have complained enough about bad roads, traffic, corruption and bad governance. Now, it is the time to show the politicians that you have also got strings to pull. Once politicians know that you can pull strings, they will respect you and will start listening to you.
The other way is to claim that all politicians are same and act like a loser and avoid making an impact in the elections. A 2% swing in elections can change the outcome of any election. Techies can make that happen.
Wake up!! and Use your Brains!!
Divide and Rule!!
Jai Hind.

The problem with we middle class people is that, we take everything lightly assuming we have no power to change the system. The reservations, quotas, governments and inflation etc. But we forget the VOTE and yet we praise USA for their system. In US as you are reading daily, the governments will come only based on the people’s strength, not by money or by one cast or creed like STC BVCD OMB OBFC STCD – but then our people wanted to be branded as ST SC etc., in English letters so that the rulers can give special quotas for them. That is a different story.
What I would like to stress and ask the Karnataka people is TO USE YOUR VOTE ! By not utilizing it, you are doing a harm to your sons, daughters, future Kannadigas and Indians. So, unless YOU people vote and increase the Percentage from 42 to 75 in this elections, the calculations of all parties will change, looking at YOU, all people from others states will learn and get educated.
So it’s our duty to educate the EDUCATED ! Please send this to your friends, send it as comments to other blogs
