Parliamentary Elections

The Voting Issue:-

 The  election fever has set in. The Parliamentary elections for Lok sabha of India are going on. The political parties are busy with their election campaigns. On account of the strict rules and regulations laid out by the Election Commission of India the political parties are changing their way of approach  to reach the people. Campaigns through internet, websites, television channels, FM Radio channels are gaining popularity. At this point of time there is an issue of making elections compulsory in India as the percentage of voting in certain states are not upto the mark. This is because of the fact that people avoid to vote either due to problems like threat from terrorists as is prominent in certain states, or they dont realise the importance of exercising their franchise. Many organisations are trying to make awareness of casting vote. The media stands first in this list. One of the important fundemental rights that our Indian Constitution provides us is the right to vote. It is our duty to execute it with extreme care. As responsible citizens of India our work does not end with voting. But we have to make a thorough analysis of the activities that the political parties did when they were ruling. They simply make the promises during the campaign.

But choosing a right person for our country lies in our hands. Its our duty to be catious about it. Vote for the right party. If it seems that none of them is good then hope for “No vote” option button in the voting machineJ. There are many people (including me) who are not really interested in politicians. Including this option in the voting machine will provide a chance for them to show that none of them in their constituency is eligible to be their representative. Jai Hind!
