Thanks for this
All involved,
Thanks for this. Helps make some sort of informed choice. I went through all the candidates from Bangalore (apart from Bangalore Central where I vote from).
One thing that I saw good was that many had no criminal records. Do parties put candidates with low/no criminal records where the electorate is perceived as being more educated/informed/less tolerant of this? Good to see at least this.
I am traveling next week but am back April 22 night to cast my vote on April 23. That is the least we can all do.
