Dear Sir,
I suggest you should publicise your blog so that every voter and also NON VOTER(sceptical citizen) of your constituency knows What a MINISTER does and MINISTRY is not only power,fame and WEALTH( assumed as illgotten,exceptioin your case).
Your blog would act as a catalyst for lot of people who think VOTE means nothing to listen to you,suggest you,admire you and join in your efforts to provide efficient and transparent governanace.
As a first step you could provide your blog address in all the articles written by you to various newspapers and magazines
Since the home minister Dr.Acharya also blogs and he his blogs have got publicity on the english print media , a link of your blog on his blog would help.
Regards
Puneeth Kumar
