Halt elections till beggars get right to vote
Mangaluru: The ‘Dari’ organization that has gained attention through various social activities has come up with a new demand seeking right to vote for beggars.
In a letter addressed to the chief electoral officer of Karnataka, Ravi Bangera -- convener of the organization, said the constitution guarantees right to vote to every Indian citizen except beggars. Polls must be put on hold until beggars get voting power.
Ravi Bangera has also written that five percent of the population in the state has taken to begging for their survival. He also has mentioned about the plight of people living in rehabilitation centers and shelters. Are they not the citizens of India? Is it not true that even a single vote for a candidate plays an important role as per the constitution in forming a government under democracy," he said.
