    No doubt youngsters have new ideas to make docile voters to awake from their sleep. but looking at the low percentage of votes cast in Mumbai, it appears that these efforts are not enough. Even 26/11 does not enthuse voters , then what will ? But there is some hope outside Mumbai and maharashtra.. just look at high percentage of votes cast elsewhere.. Can some one find the real reason behind voter apathy ? I have a guess..Public in maharashtra is literate , rich & educated but not politically motivated enough like those in UP, Bihar or even Gujarat. That is why they rule India. Think what will make Mumbaikar’s become politically active.. may be they are waiting for next 26/11. I may sound pessimistic..but people who light candles , prefer to spend Voting holidays in picknics ..
