It is a week since I am constantly getting calls from numbers which show up like this on Truecaller. The lady tells me this is an election survey and they would like to know which party do I support!!! The last I checked we were a democracy. @ceo_karnataka this is a thread FYI
With the upcoming #karnatakaelection, We expect campaigning. When asked whose office is conducting the survey, the girl on the other end told me they were not at Liberty to disclose this. My questions to you are - how is accessing my private number by random people legal?
How is asking anyone who their preferred political party is before the election not akin to asking who I would vote for? What are the rules for digital campaigning in the upcoming elections? What are the penalties?
@DgpKarnataka sir, would you be kind enough to put out information on privacy expectations and the legalities? I don’t want the local thugs to be sitting with numbers of mine.

To be a sportsperson in our country is not the easiest. There aren’t enough facilities and most of our sportspeople are now roadside vendors. Now imagine being a para athlete in a country that isn’t for the specially abled. If that isn’t bad enough, read this beauty. Image
Here is a checklist that you will need to meet to be a paarathlete in india. A)there is a registration fee that you need to pay to participate in the qualifiers. The national dept stipulates it at ₹1000, the karnataka state demands ₹3000. ImageImage
B) to add insult to injury, the Athletes have to pay a penalty of ₹10,000 to the national para athletics, if they fail to meet the minimum qualifying standards. Every event has a set standard that a sports person has to meet. But it is unheard of to penalise them if they don’t!
