Wake Up Techies!!
The Elections for Bangalore Assembly seats will be held on 10th May 2008. A swing of just 2000 votes can decide the winner of a constituency. You as a techie can create that swing. How? By enrolling people by word of mouth and by internet campaign. A winning candidate normally gets about 40,000 votes and the average difference between winning and losing candidates is just 4000 votes.
There are 28 assembly seats in Bangalore and there are about 10,000 software engineers (techies) in each constituency. So, techies are powerful enough to make a big swing in the elections and that can impact the outcome of assembly election in Karnataka.
Techies!! You have complained enough about bad roads, traffic, corruption and bad governance. Now, it is the time to show the politicians that you have also got strings to pull. Once politicians know that you can pull strings, they will respect you and will start listening to you.
The other way is to claim that all politicians are same and act like a loser and avoid making an impact in the elections. A 2% swing in elections can change the outcome of any election. Techies can make that happen.
Wake up!! and Use your Brains!!
Divide and Rule!!
Jai Hind.
