No benefits for those who do not vote !

It was dismal show by the public in voting for the BBMP elections. The Government of Karnataka is contemplating to take away all the benefits for those who are not voting in the elections. It is a good move. I agree with that.

So, if you do not vote in the elections, you stand to loose the ration card, subsidised gas etc., My point is:

For those who are voting, will the government :

• issue a ration card immediately
• issue the other facilities, which they say that will be taken away?

Government should make sure that the electoral list is made properly. Inspite of applying for ages, there are people who still wait for their names to be found in the electoral list.


Let the government clean their house before penalizing others. How are they going to give the exemptions for the following:

• Those who are transferred to another state on government jobs
• Those who have not been provided with the election id card

Even ministers like Mr.Ashoka thinking like this is irritating. Let them put their house in order, before working on the others. If the government is perfect, people will voluntarily come and vote.
