JPH is not right: the trust of people on politicians is reducing? Voter turn out was 66% plus. 88% voted two of parties, who fielded professional politicians, bigger share to JPH. Compare this to 2008 US Presidential elections. Voter turnout=56.8%. The non-professional politicians. Point: JPH wants to get re-elected in 2014. More than gaining trust, important is for fulfilling his promises, working harder and getting results, while being without bias, fear and favoritism. That is minimum. | |

"Party workers should respond to the problems of common man at the booth level and gain their confidence" Rightly said Mr. Hegde. Looking at the political scenario at our state we can easily make out the lowest confidence level due to infighting, greed and power hungry politicians. It is time for Congress workers at the grass root to work for the common peoples needs and solve their immediate problems, such as land, poverty, electricity shortage, road construction, educational needs and many social needs of the people and gain the confidence to win votes in the future and most importantly for the development of their district to start with. |
