Do u know this???

Do you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the pollingbooth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey thepresiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!
Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seeminglynotorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".
Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, ifa candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward hasreceived "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will becancelled and will have to be re-polled. Not only that, but thecandidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannotcontest the re-polling, since people had already expressed theirdecision on them. This would bring fear into parties and hence lookfor genuine candidates for their parties for election. This wouldchange the way, of our whole political system... it is seeminglysurprising why the election commission has not revealed such afeature to the public....
Seems to be awonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show yourpower, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even morepowerful than voting... so don't miss your chance. So either vote,or vote not to vote (vote 49-O)
