BJP raising the bar on Using Technology

Below is an Ad about Advani as PM. Online versions of IndianExpress, The Hindu etc are sites showing this Ad. I even observed Google Text Ads in a few websites.

Even though Mr Promod Mahajan (late) was known to be the techno politician, the BJP seems to have enough Internet / Technology savvy people around to guide the party.  Most importantly someone there had the management skills to listen to those tech savvy advisers. Change is really sweeping the political class.

However we really need to see how much of an impact this will have on final results. I am afraid we as voters do not vote once we get in to a comfy zone (read as, become well off). Unless you are well off you are also not going to see this Ad (no internet access). That means these Ads for all you know will be seen only by people who will not vote. I could be wrong.


Hope all politicians really understand how the Internet and Technology can make our Rural masses world beaters and invest more in education and bringing technology to the masses in our country.

Good Luck for the elections !

Its not when we are well-off we don't vote, its when we don't believe we can make a difference. [Or certainly when we don't care !!]

We should know & believe that every vote counts and anybody can make a difference. This is doubly valid for learned men, as we should be the ones guiding others for voting.

I don't agree Jay. We as Indians (many, ok I am not including you :-) ) are irresponsible and lazy.

The few active/ intellectually brave ones take this country places.


I don't see why we should not vote. IF we can make 49 O more prominent and make the press take it to the people, those who find they can't make a difference can come forward and use that option.
