Ask Yourself Before Casting Votes

Elections are on the way and the dance of democracy has already begun. Congress using ‘Jai Ho’ song of Slumdog Millionnaire to win the hearts of people and BJP modernising itself by using the newly launched middle class favourite Nano instead of the rath used in earlier campaigns.

Are we again ready to cast our valuable votes to the parties for which our grand pas have been voting for or contemplating over to bring any change in the present set up? Time has come when we can show our power and throw out those politicians who have been sitting in the paliament for the last five years without uttering a single word. If this phase passes away then the suffering for the next five years will again win the toss. Who is not aware of the mindwash pills given by the leaders just before the elections? Don’t get wooed by the 24 hr electricity and water supply in the past few months but remember the number of hours for which you enjoyed these facilities in the past five years.

Here are some questions which a citizen of India must ask himself before casting vote in favour of any of the leaders.

1.       Would you caste your valuable vote to a person who is neither the resident nor converscent to your constituency?

2.       Would you cast your vote to a person illiterate or uneducated or purely yes man to his bosses?

3.       Would you vote for a person to whom direct access or meeting is difficult?

4.       Would you cast your vote to a person who comes to you five or six times for getting vote during the whole tenure?

5.       Would you cast your vote to a person always bent upon blaming others and not doing anything for the welfare of the public?

All the newspapers especially The Times Of India have been giving a detailed analysis of works done by different parties and leaders during the last five years. It is shocking to know that around one-third of the parliament never spoke in the question hour for whom we voted.

Some young persons amongst us have to come forward to have an effective control over the policy and the programmes of the country after a careful study of the defeciencies in the prevailing system. It’s the right time to show if the vote of the public can give them the chair then the same vote can also snatch away the power from them.
