Never Forget (a politician's promises)
(Via Gautam Bastian) Here's one of the more interesting ideas I have come across in recent times. In India, politicians make all sorts of promises before an election and promptly forget all about it post-election, only to repeat the same rubbish come the next election. Of course, one wonders why voters buy the crap repeatedly and continue to vote for everything from free electricity to new roads, most of which never materialise. Neverforget.in is an attempt to keep track of these promises and hold the politicians accountable for these promises. It's very rudimentary and a work in progress, but it's definitely a good start and I wish the founders the very best.
