Clean Elections in Bangalore this time
psaram42 - 1 April, 2009 | Bangalore | BBMP | Democracy | Elections | Analysis | Election Commission
It is to be appreciated that BBMP has taken a policy decision towards a clean parliamentary elections this time. However when will we have the BBMP civic body elections? We are getting our roads asphalted and Road Name plates erected at each main and cross roads of our ward no 74 and those of other wards in CV Raman Nagar (MLA) constituency. The ward is an equivalent of Gram Panchayat in rural context and hence is the grass root level civic body. CV Raman Nagar constituency in turn includes several wards.
Here the point I want to make is that we should have a RWA for each ward. This would perhaps be an equivalent of the "Gram Panchayat", in the rural context. It should be the responcibilty of the RWA to enlist each house hold in each street of the ward and keep an uptodate list preferably on an official web site of the ward. This bottom up approach if streamlined will be an efficient approach for obataining the voters list. This is an open suggestion for our election commission please.
The photo ID is required for people who do not have any other valid ID like PAN card, Driving licence etc.
