Excellent idea – Conducting of Eligibility test for Local Elections – Mysore Municipality

News has come in the Channels that the Mysore Municipal Corporation has conducted eligibility test for participation in the elections of local bodies.
It appears the test is a written test and those who are interested to contest in the elections, should qualify themselves in the written test. It is said
the persons participating in the elections are expected to know their role responsibility and their area of operation and the test papers appears to have
designed on different subjects relating to the Public Utilities and related services.

This is surely first of its kind and a very noble idea. The thumb impression rules appear to have been disappearing from the political scenario of the
country, paving a way to new hope that corrective steps in the political field are still possible.

Each of us should appreciate the methodology adopted by Mysore Municipal Corporation authorities. Their boldness is worthy of its kind. They stand as
a model for the entire country that political reforms are possible and quality based persons can still be chosen. Thumb impression politics and polluted
dynasty rule may now have to disappear from the country paving a way to quality based New Generation. Perhaps this step may help the country to come out
of the clutches of dynasty rule, if a law is passed at the centre respecting the methods adopted by Mysore Municipal Corporation. Of course, the political
parties should have guts at Centre and State level to accept this formula and to what degree the present thumb impressions allow such rules to be passed
is worth watching.
