Considering that this was the Assembly election, I had listed what I had called as 'manifesto points' (see this blog of mine) and forwarded them to many NGO's and RWA's for inclusion in their respective lists. The article linked here on CitizenMatters also brings this out clearly. However, this whole election has willy-nilly become more 'Vote Bengaluru' than 'Vote Karnataka'.
When I placed my list before a prominent party candidate in our constituency, he also seemed to suggest that we should be focussing more on local issues - roads, parks, drainage, garbage clearance - essentially BBMP functions. The meaning of the 74th amendment does not appear to have been appreciated even by the likes of this many-time minister. This is certainly going to cause serious problems, particularly if we are going to have different parties ruling the state and the city.

what 74th
murali , the only thing i am suprised about is the fact that you were surprised by the politicians ignorance.
the 74th is too esoteric a subject for even the best of them and remeber this is one amendment on which amnesia helps beacause it really is about divesting of power!!
