Friends …
Hope some of you have already got this and got to know about the Rule 49 O of the Conduct of Election Rules,
It says:
"In a particular constituency, if a voter has dislike to all of the candidates competing there,
Then he can show his dislike to all of them by registering for 49'O .
Steps for doing this:
1. while registering the name by the time of voting, convey the booth officials that "I want to go for 49'O".
2. Register your signature in the 49'O form available there.
Done.
Now, if the number of 49'O count is larger than that of the winning candidates total vote count, then a re-election is called there.
More than all, the shameful fact is,
This 49'O is available ever since 1960, but it is in no way conveyed to the people.
Neither the government communicate this, nor did the election commission.
As long as the people are unaware of this one, the political parties are enjoying by winning the election and ditching our country.
To stop this disaster to continue further, we don't need to take a sword and fight against the government.
Just help every citizen to know that they have such a powerful weapon which can be used for ensuring their welfare.
None of the media will be ready to publish this 49'O .
Communicate this information with all your family, friends, and neighbors as much as you can and let them know their right.

Godara Sahab,

Very informative post, indeed!

The only drawback is the obvious concern about the secrecy of such decision as also the physical safety of the individual taking such decision.

Can you kindly provide text of legal provisions about what I have quoted above out of the contents of your post? Or any link to such provisions?

Thanks again for highlighting such an important issue!
