An email found its self a place in almost every mailbox in the city and this state for sure. The so called mantra that was to cure Mumbai city of all its curses at times did repeated rounds of a few thousand mailboxes. It gave Mumbaites the confidence, courage, satisfaction and hope.
It was called - Section 49-O of the Constitution.
I vote for Nobody.
Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!
Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".
Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that
· Polling will be cancelled and
· Will have to be re-polled.
· Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their decision on them.
This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine candidates for their parties for election. This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public....
Please spread this news to as many as you know.. Seems to be a wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India .. show your power, expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than voting... so don't miss your chance.
So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info on...
"Please forward this mail to as many as possible, so that we, the people of India , can really use this power to save our nation".
Use your vote right for a better INDIA .
Every time this email was forwarded it was relief to the Mumbaites as it was an extra nail in the governments and the politicians grave. Their future looked bleak. Every netizen had a smile and a determination could be seen on ever face as everyone decided to use the Section 49-O.
However even before this feeling could sink in the truth about this section was out. DNA unmasked its truth.
Here is the reality of 49-O. Read along...

@ Abhishek
Appreciate your inputs. You have indeed enlightened the readers on this blog. But point I was trying to draw attention here was not only on the actual facts but the reaction of the masses. People are so fed up and scared that they are looking out for any means to make a difference and change the current situation & the system. But in the bargain they get carried away.
Your comment has helped me highlight this point. Thanks.
