Meet your MP candidates – Bangalore Central

by April 15, 2019 Governance

We have a lot of issues in our neighborhood that can be solved by good governance.

We have learnt that the only way to make improvements is by steadily increasing accountability of those in power. Active, engaged, informed, and vigilant citizens who vote determine who gets in power and what the outcome is.

We remain non partisan and will not tell you who to vote for. Having helped thousands in Mahadevpura get on the voter rolls this year, we now share a summary of the  very successful “Meet Your MP Candidates” event held on April 14, 2019.  Who are they and what did they say?

If you have been disenfranchised or have other issues with not being able to vote, please write to voter-rising@whitefieldrising.org
