Election Commission asks to vote well-educated people

MUMBAI: EC wants people to vote for candidates who are pro-development and well-educated and has also asked people to beware of those who will offer bribes, as such people would indulge in corruption in future.

EC's posters say people should also know the assets and liabilities of candidates before voting for them. In the island city, around three lakh such letters are reaching voters along with voters' slips, and around five lakh are being distributed in Mumbai's suburbs. People have to sign and submit these to ward officers or election officials or at the polling booths. Besides ward officers and staff at the collector's offices, the help of residents' welfare associations and various NGOs is being taken to distribute these letters.

Former top cop M N Singh said he didn't think that EC wanted people to vote keep in mind the prime ministerial candidates while voting. "Campaigns are of course driven by the leaders, but ultimately it settles in the parliament. It means to say that people should also do away with non-serious candidates and shouldn't waste their valuable vote. There are people from Bollywood some of whom are non-serious. The pledge indicates that people should also keep in mind party and its ideology that will drive the nation towards progress," he said.

Ajit Ranade of the Association For Democratic Reforms said the meaning of the pledge was that people should vote with broader interest of national progress and governance and not just look at narrower interests.

"The campaign wants people to vote with honesty, thoughtfully and ethically. They don't want people get under the influence of money or muscle power and get carried away by narrow considerations. The spirit of the pledge is people must vote for larger and broader issues of national governance and development and is a welcome move," he said.
