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.

Srivathsa
