Section 49-O of the Constitution

Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the
1969 act, in section "49-O" that a person can go to the polling booth,
confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the presiding
election officer that he doesn't want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly
notorious leaders have never disclosed it. This is called "49-O".

Why should you go and say "I VOTE NOBODY"... because, in a ward, if a
candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received
"49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and
will have to be re-polled.
Not only that, but the candidature of the contestants will be removed
and they cannot contest the re-polling, since people had already
expressed their decision on them.

This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine
candidates for their parties for election.
This would change the way, of our whole political system... it is
seemingly surprising why the election commission has not revealed such a
feature to the public....

Please spread this news to as many as you know... Seems to be a
wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India... show your power,
expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is even more powerful than
voting... so don't miss your chance.
So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this info
on...

"Please forward this mail to as many as possible, so that we, the
people of India, can really use this power to save our nation"

Use your voting right for a better INDIA.
