Don't give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half

It's election time in our state and wherever you go, the mood is the same. Debates within family members as to who will come to power..
However, over the past three months or so, there are a couple of other parties that have joined the fray, most notable among them being the Lok Paritran about whom enough has been said and written!! Their campaign managers have been telling us to vote for them because they promise change! And eradication from corruption. They don't promise insane stuff like color TV's, 3 gms gold in Mangal sutr'(Thaali) and rice for Rs.2. Which is great!! It's a refreshing change from the verbal wars that the two Dravidian parties have resorted to! Karunanidhi on one hand says Jayalalitha claims to be working 20 hours a day and appeals to the voters to give her some rest from the 8th of May, not for her benefit, but for the benefit of the party. Jaya on the other hand blames the centre (of which the DMK is a part) for not having assisted the government enough during the tsunami and the rains last year.
Some colleagues of mine are involved in the campaign for Lok Paritran. So, I asked them, why should one vote for the Lok Paritran. The answers I got were many, ranging from the young and enthusiastic party, to the educated people, to the IIT brand.
As of now, after saturday, all the political parties will have their fates decided by the voters of this state!
I hope experiments like Lok Paritran succeed in the longer term....
Also guys for If you dislike all the candidates in your consituency..
U have another choice - '49 o'.
the "Forty Nine O " is as follows
"In a particular constituency, if a voter dislikes all of the candidates competing there, then he can show his dislike to all of them by registering for 49’O. This option is available since 1960.
Steps for doing this:
1. While registering the name at the time of voting, convey to the booth officials that “I want to go for 49’O”.
2. Register your signature in the 49’O form available there.
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."
Honeslty this is the first time I am hearing abt 49 O. what a shame!
None of the election officers have communicated this to the citizens. Nor have we heard of them in TN/Radio.
(I might be wrong here as I surely have'nt come across this 49' O- It sounded like a bus no or some kind of temparature reading that states the votes are heated up to me initially!)
I request and urge you all to vote for Lok Paritran.(hey... not a campaign!) Though their coming to power is highly unlikely owing to the false camapaings by the existing dumb parties and stupid poor people confiding in these demons, let's alteast give it a shot.
To me both DMK and AIADMK members should be nailed to death. I happened to watch some of their campaigns, its nothing but a personal abuse against each other.
I don't have any doubt that very little will be done by both parties after the election.
Hence exercise your vote judiciously.
Have a great long weekend!..and sad enough, I am not having a great weekend, at work after a long time on a saturday; and can somebody vote for me? LOL!
