Some political parties here in India are trying to follow this path this time for General elections. I have come across ads from BJP promoting its Primer Minister candidate L K Advani! If you are in India, you must have seen the ads for his website in Google ads on various websites or would have received an SMS for the same website!
Today, I was going through Google Blog and came across a post that Google has released Google India Elections Center in partnership with HT Media! Thanks to Google and HT Media for this as the site has good features where in you can know about your constituency, the incumbent MP and latest news going around in political circuit.
What prompted me to write this blog was one bug which I saw on the site. The Member Parliament 2004 widget actually shows the incumbent MPs from your constituency and adjoining ones. When I was searching for nothing in particular but just browsing through, I stumbled upon an MP from Arrah, Bihar, Mrs Kanti Singh. I know her name, at least I know that she is a female! The widget shows her incorrectly as a Male!
I know the widget search is powered by a third party service provider but Google is hosting the site so it can affect its credibility! Google India, please step up and get it corrected through the service provider!
