We wanted to make a comparaison of the candidates backgrounds to see closely the fairness in the process. Please do the same for your constituencies. The information is got from the election commission web site and newspapers.
The main candidates are:
K.R. Puram: Krishnappa (Congress); N.S. Nandish Reddy (BJP); L. Muniswamy (JD-S); Gowramma (CPI-M); Abraham T.J (BSP); B.T. Naganna (Lok Paritran)
Even before going into any detailed analysis you can see that Nandish Reddy of the BJP has been fieleded only on the capcitiy to invest in the election business . His vocation states 'Builder'. He has "high assets" which needs to be investigated to restore trust according to the Karnataka Election Watch - Phase 1 - 2008 report. The JD(S) candidate Munnisawmy is also a 'Land Devleoper' and a first timer .
How do dedicated ordinary citzens contest against such people. We need state funding of elections and strict implementation of the same to ensure fairness.
These people will obviously look at developing their real estate through political power. How much of the common mans concerns do they understand. What experience will realtors and land speculators have in governance . These are serious questions. Why isnt the media raising this as the central issue in Bangalore.
B T Naganna : Lok Paritran
President, Karnataka State Unit, Age 38,
BE Mech from SSIT Tumkur, Entrepreneur manufacturing kitchen accessories like
baskets etc, 9845597452
He also doesnt seem to have a criminal record and looks like a fair entrepreneur.
Gowramma : CPIM : The women candidate . Full timer in the CPIM. Gets paid 3000 Rs. per month. Has been in public life for the last 15 years. She doesnt seem to have any criminal record. http://www.thehindu.com/2008/04/30/stories/2008043059110300.htm : says that "40-year-old Communist Party of India (Marxist) candidate from K.R. Puram, Gowramma, is a former garment worker and who has been actively organising women workers since the mid-90s."
Congrats to Lok Paritran and the CPIM to have fielded candidates with integrity and fairness and no criminal records .
The National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution (NCRWC) has identified 3 MPs - money power, muscle power and mafia power - and 4 Cs - criminalization, communalism, corruption, and casteism
Now we have to do a detailed analysis of the 4 Cs of these 4 candidates.
Money power :
http://www.hindu.com/2008/05/09/stories/2008050955611600.htm
Mr. Gowda said Rs. 30 lakh had been spent on organising the public meeting addressed by Ms. Gandhi in K.R. Puram. The BSP would urge the Election Commission to add Rs. 30 lakh to the poll expenditure of Congress candidate from K.R. Puram Assembly Constituency, A. Krishnappa, he said. If the Election Commission pursued the matter seriously.
Where is the election commission norm of 10 lakh per contituency.
You can see a good number of cars in the self declared affidavits by Nandish Reddy and Krishnappa.
The BSP candidate has assets to the tune of 10s of lakhs .
Gowramma seems to be a middle class candidate - with a regular LIC policy and 20,000 cash in hand etc. A house currently valued at 16,00,000 lakhs. The lok paritran candidate also seems to have proportianate assets in accorance with his job as a small scale entrepreuner and vehciles like bikes and scooters.
Muscle Power :
N S Nadishareddy, who is contesting the polls on a BJP ticket from KR Puram, has cases of rioting, unlawful assembly, voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty and mischief causing damage filed against him. Abraham T J, who is contesting from the same constituency with a BSP ticket, has been charged with causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons and wrongful restraint . Gowramma also has a pending case for unlawful assembly, rioting and trespassing but not related to murder , causing grievieous hurt etc...these could be the sections the police book for the dharnas and rasta rokos etc.
Shame on these candidates and the parties which have fielded criminals and speculators
K.R Puram constiutency affidavits can be got from here:

Hi, I am from Ramamurthy Nagar ur neighbouring Residency, Although I Appreciate ur Views & Admire ur blog But, you must understand that
blamming A Krishnappa or Nandish Reddy will not solve the root cause of ur problem because Politicians are the same all over.
They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river & No matter what political party, they are all the same when it comes to using power to their Comfort and Advantage, therefore there should be Change in 'Indian Constituency and the Law',
Indian Constituency and Law gives democracy to everyone as a result habitual offender,Rowdy, Robber & Muderer come to Election and Cheat all people.
In my opinion, this democracy crap rule should be demolished & military dictatorship should Arrive thats the only solution to Save this world from this Cruel
politicians.
with regards
Common people Lover
