With more than 9,500 ‘likes’ on its Facebook page and 650 followers on Twitter, the Bangalore Political Action Committee (BPAC) has made some success of its initiative to promote and sustain good governance practices and policies for economic competitiveness, social well-being and inclusive growth in the city. In the recent Karnataka elections, BPAC vetted CVs and listed 14 candidates—Bangalore city has 28 assembly seats—for whom people should vote. These were of literate individuals without criminal records, well-known in their fields. The choice cut across party lines. Five of them won.
