AAP sets up helpline for disenfranchised voters
Press Note : 26th April 2014.
AAP sets up helpline for disenfranchised voters and demands supplementary elections
Aam Aadmi Party has complained to the Chief Election Commissioner about the glaring deletions from the Maharashtra State electoral rolls. Lakhs of citizens were shocked to find that despite having what they thought was a valid voter id card their names did not figure in the electoral rolls. Many new voters were deprived of their right to vote because despite making an application in due time, their names were not included in the final rolls.

Many new voters were deprived of their right to vote because despite making an application in due time, their names were not included in the final rolls.
We say the Election Commission cannot get away by saying that onus is
on the citizen to verify his/her name on the electoral rolls. It is
natural for a citizen to assume that once enrolled they will not be
deleted unless they have requested a change of address, change of
citizenry or if they are deceased. The names were deleted either because
the election commission failed to verify their existence or due to
malicious intent – in either case it takes away the citizens fundamental
right to vote and makes a farce of democracy.
We demand that the Election Commission should forthwith verify all the deleted names and allow all valid voters to exercise their votes in a supplementary poll. We will await the Election Commission’s response, failing which we will move to the courts for justice.
We request all citizens who had to face the outrage of being unable to vote to please send your details and we will pursue each case for inclusion.

Why Meera ... by an Aam Aadmi
Why
Meera ....
(By Ankur Jhaveri ankur1001@gmail.com)
Who is Ankur ? An Aam Aadmi off-course, just like you & me !
With
less than 4 days for the elections in Mumbai South, there may be an amazing level of
confusion in the minds of Mumbaikars as to whom to vote for. For
Mumbai South residents, I'll try and make it easy to decide:
Here
are 8 reasons you should vote for Meera Sanyal:
- Highly qualified
With
an MBA from INSEAD and an Advanced Management Program from Harvard
Business School, Meera is one of the few highly qualified people
standing for the elections. People would vote for someone because
they may
turn out to be
good economists. Well, we
don’t see anyone else knowing finance and management better than
someone who’s served as the CEO of an international bank!
Acting as the CEO of Royal Bank of Scotland, she has proved her
intellect to the people, and has given up a high and respectable
position for one basic reason: welfare of the country! It’s
time we aid her in her efforts!
- Fresh outlook
Meera
brings with her a fresh new outlook; she brings with her a
no-nonsense policy; she brings with her a non-corrupt government; she
brings with her a radical
change.
This change is what we want; it’s what we need; and this change is
what we DESERVE! By pressing the jhaadu
button on election day, you are not voting for Meera, nor are you
voting for AAP. You are essentially voting, for
change.
- Clean image
Mumbai
is sick of corruption, which has penetrated deep into the system, and
needs someone with a clean image. Meera is one of the few politicians
whose image is a clean slate, with no marks of corruption.
Relinquishing the position of CEO is not an easy decision, and has
been done by Meera only for one motive: welfare of the people! Meera
has also served as President of LiberalsIndia, a non-profit that
works towards improving the state of Governance in India. We
don’t know how many current politicians possibly have even a
similar, if not better track record!
- Clear vision
Meera’s
vision is as clear as glass: to be able to provide a decent standard
of living. This means providing for things that are taken for
granted: better employment opportunities, affordable housing, basic
sanitation facilities, better roads, and overall, a better
infrastructure. The
reason why this has not been happening is because Mumbai does not
have space.
And the best way to get this space is to get the Mumbai Port Trust
back, which is Meera’s primary objective. The
Mumbai Port Trust is not just snatching away our land which can be
used to develop better infrastructure, but is also causing
environmental and health hazards to the city!
Giving this land back to the city is the best solution to its
problems. And that is precisely what Meera intends on doing!

development, visit: http://bit.ly/portgate)
- Encouragement to entrepreneurship
Meera
believes that the people of Mumbai are entrepreneurial. Mumbai
is the heart of commercial activity, and the young can make it into a
silicon valley of services, not just in IT but also in traditional
services like banking and finance, marketing, advertising and film
making.
Having a rich experience of the business world, Meera would be the
best choice to provide the much-needed support that the future
entrepreneurs of Mumbai need. She has direct experience of doing this
as she has:
- Set up and built a global BPO in India.
- Created more than 21,000 direct jobs in banking operations and technology services.
- Set up the project finance team that financed core areas of India’s infrastructure
- Secular and non-violent
The
Aam Aadmi Party is one political unit that has proved to be secular
and non-violent. You wouldn’t want to vote for a party that has a
previous track record of being violent or has been a perpetrator of
caste-ism, would you? AAP believes in equality of all sects, and is
unbiased towards any particular religion, thereby being the best
alternative for voters who want a truly secular nation.
- It makes your vote count!
The
government has come up with NOTA this year. It enables the common man
to choose specifically NOBODY from the candidates standing for the
elections. Though an exclusive right, this should be exercised only
in situations where there is no suitable candidate. With
candidates like Meera Sanyal standing for the elections, in Mumbai
south, a vote for NOTA is actually a vote wasted.
Mumbaikars need a fresh face with a clean image; they need someone
who brings about a change; they need someone with a clear vision.
Meera possesses all of the above; all
she needs is a chance.
A chance to prove herself, to Mumbai south, to Maharashtra, and to
the nation! Rather than wasting your vote on NOTA, press the jhaadu,
and
give her that chance. Make your vote count: You’ve always voted for
ministers; now it’s time to vote for the common man.
- Finally, she’s the best alternative
This
may sound very cliché, but Meera is by far the best alternative for
the people of Mumbai south. We’ll clear out why. Imagine yourself
as the Managing Director of an MNC having the task of appointing a
CEO. You have 4 candidates, of which one has worked in a company
known for corruption, 2 have a past history of violence, and one has
proved her intellect with her work. Whom would you choose? It’s
that easy!
People
say “look at the bigger picture”. We say “don’t do that”.
Look at who is the best for YOUR constituency. Think of what you
need, and understand who’s the best to provide what you need! Vote
for the common man; vote for development; vote for Meera.
