Don't cheat, support or encourage others to cheat

[Ravi H R]

​ Some questions you can ask when they meet you or in a public event. Why are you contesting elections? What do you want to do if you win? How much are you going to spend on the campaign? Do you know how much remuneration a corporator gets? How will you manage your finances, if you win? Do you have any extra source of income that is sufficient to run your family, without depending upon BBMP’s remuneration? How do you want to keep in touch with the public, if you win? How much time do you want to spend on the BBMP work each day? This cannot be your main work surely, as it doesn't earn you a decent amount per month. (A corporator’s salary is Rs 7,500 to 9,000 per month, or slightly higher, depending upon the standing committee memberships, number of days they attended the council meetings etc.) What are your thoughts about ward committees and areas sabhas? Do you support them? Who do you want to nominate? What are your thoughts about garbage segregation, now that segregation is a rule in Bengaluru? How do you want to ensure people's participation in administration and works to be undertaken in the wards? How do you want to minimise corruption in administration? How do you want to ensure you will not fall prey to the officials- contractors- corporators’ nexus? How do you want to ensure the problems of potholes, non-collection of garbages etc don’t trouble people? This involves facing the real system and nexus, which is usually a tough experience, where most of the good people start understanding the system. Are you ready for that challenge? What do you want to do if you don’t get elected this time? Will you continue to work, or just take a backseat? For women candidates: Many women get tickets only because this ward is reserved for women, so none of the male aspirants could stand. Is this the case with you too? Will you be free from pressure once elected? For those re-contesting: What do you want to do different than what you did in your last term? Why should people re-elect you? What are your achievements?
