WHY SHOULD I VOTE

WHY SHOULD I VOTE???

JINGLE BELL JINGLE BELL Elections time once again. Politicians, media ppl, normal aam admi(not party),ad agencies,facebooks,twitters all are in a buzz in this election time.As if INDIA won another CRICKET WC. It’s like suddenly every politician converts himself/herself into SANTA CLAUS and start donating gifts,freebies,moral assurance,promises,even shed tears (so pathetic) and wat not..

 

 

 

 

 

As if all came back from senses and to reality that the politicians have to care for the common masses as they know at the end of the day they have to come begging for our votes.

 

 

 

 

But before they come begging infront of our door or shout at the top of a hill for my priceless possession i.e 1 vote,do I consider it as a priceless thing??? I mean does it give me any moral satisfaction by saying “MERE PAAS EK VOTE HAI” stuff… rather I find myself at an idiotic position that what they will loot my country, my money (as I pay TAX ) and they have given me a weapon that’s also 1 vote. C’mon I got to have something big may be 1 AK -56 gun or a drone by which I could show my dissatisfaction or give these morons a fitting reply for the nuisance they have created in my life. But hell no, this 1 vote is like giving an alpenlibe to an elephant for a day for food. Whenever I get a chance to discuss with my friends about elections either they think it is like wastage of time or a BEAMER which cannot be defended just goes overhead. I neither get any direction nor any logic that how can my vote exemplify something great or how can it create a change. This question always strikes my head because either the politicians are fooling me about  1 vote or I am not finding the logic. One friend also told me oneday it is all about the poor village ppl because they elect the government and they go to give vote and who cares for us either we vote or not. Does that mean my existence in our society does not matter to anyone. I will pay the tax, will add value to my country by doing skilled work, I will also pay the vegetables and grocery items at an inflated rate and will face the heinous crimes and what not but will not protest and keep my voice shut. Does it add any thing to my dignity or my conscience that how come I bear with all the things and carry on without even a slightest of resistance. Even I do resist when an umpire gives wrong decision to my favourite player in a match. But hell here I am neither protesting against all the misgovernance going on in our country. Friends tell me one thing what is an “ELECTION”???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 It is a method by which we elect a person or group of persons to rule our country. And who are eligible to participate? A person who is above 18 yrs of age and can franchise his/her right to vote. As we all know we live in a DEMOCRATIC setup where government is

                          I don’t know what does it mean in present scenario when half of the population does not even go to vote and franchise their right, then how can we say it is of the ppl and by the ppl. And if it is not of the ppl and by the ppl then forget the word “FOR THE PPL”….isn’t it??? If WE are not giving vote then how can we have the moral responsibility to question regarding the authority and the work of the government? Elections is like a BATTLE FIELD or KURUSHEHTRA where it is not the parties who go on fighting to grab power but it is a battle between U and YOUR future. Whether u r satisfied when the present condition or u want a change in the system and the way things are going on in our country. In every battle field we need some weapons to defend ourselves and in this battle field of elections we have the VOTE as the weapon to show our displeasure or obeisance (if u have,I doubt it) towards the present government.

 

 

And holding popcorns in the hands and watching INDIA @9 OR BIG FIGHT ( I will say it is MORE OFTEN a CAT FIGHT) will neither resolve your problems nor add any colours to your life. If u are coming in the rallies at RAM LEELA MAIDAN or anywhere in the country to do candle march and do all sorts of great things but not coming to vote then it can only be inferred that u are more interested in PUBLICITY STUNTS and showing your face infront of the paid  media rather than doing some service or DUTY towards your own country.

 

 

And let me tell you clicking pictures of poverty and uploading the pics in facebook or showing in the facebook will neither have any impact until and unless u are giving your vote. Many friends they do ask me govt is making schemes for the poor and rural areas and have no concern regarding the urban elite or middle class,do tell me 1 thing why should u get the benefits from the govt , means frankly do tell me why should u?? neither u participate in the process of elections nor do your duty i.e to vote nor encourage or educate  the youths or ur juniors about the benefits of voting nor discuss about the issues prevailing around your society, then why should govt think about u and u can see from ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA that RURAL people do vote in large numbers than the urban folks, then why should they care for u and ur welfare. And if u want to have your rights be given to you then 1^st of all u must ensure you have done your duties. Because in our constitution there are some rights and duties, if ARTICLE 326 talks about your right to franchise vote then it also tells you or empowers you carry the duty of electing a correct govt or I will say give vote. Like in BAGWAT GITA it has been said

                                           "karam kiye ja fal ki ichha mat kar “

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

likewise I will tell you folks that GIVE VOTE and forget what happens in the future . Don’t think will it change or not, will it benefit us or not  , will 1 vote can really change the country or not… forget all these things and focus one simply thing “GIVE VOTE” and think about the present scenario of price rise,corruption,unemployment etc , had there been 100% voting in our country by our forefathers then I don’t think the morons who are ruling us neither did have their chances nor have the arrogance & audacity to loot our country. We have already suffered a lot as our forefathers have not given their vote or I will say have not franchised their duty in a correct way and that’s why after 60yrs of independence we do suffer from bad roads, unemployment , power shedding, lacks of good insitutions etc etc and do u want to give your child the same future and same conditions of fear and uncertainity?? If not then take up the responsibility of GIVING VOTE in the coming elections, educate all your friends and family members or atleast stand yourself  in the queue in the day of elections in the pooling booths and cast your PRICELESS VOTE. Then only you can THINK OF CHANGE. Remember during independence struggle though 1 man have given you freedom by the use of non violence but it could not have been possible unless their were collective efforts of each and every section of society. Similarly we have to be collectively responsible to bring change in the society and it can be only possible if we all come together to perform our duties. I hope everyone has seen the sachin sir’s speech where how every one has played his/her part in his life to make him a BHARAT RATNA. So friends we all have to play our part in the present election by giving vote.

 

 

 

And another thing my friends do ask that all the parties are same why should we vote???? Let me tell u one example that when we go to a vegetable shop we hardly find a good items either the price is high or the quality is low or the chemical contaminants are mixed or if we don’t like the face of vegetable seller (LOL) or anything  else but does that mean we return to home empty hand without buying anything from market?? The answer is NO. Similarly in our democratic set up we have to choose best out of the worst and some one has rightly said “ DEMOCRACY IS THE WORST FORM OF GOVERNMENT but SHOW ME THE BETTER ONE”…. So likewise we have to choose our leader who is competent enough to lead our country. If still you want “no I want a better candidate” then I shall suggest you that you should yourself join the politics and start a new party if u think you are capable enough and let me tell you one thing I will definitely vote for you if u have a clear cut plans and vision for our country. Otherwise we have no options apart from giving vote and sitting idle and giving talks will neither make u saint nor eliminate the sinner ones. If you have any other options to change the system then please share with me. I would be highly honoured.   Let us take the responsibility and friends it’s a matter of pride and honour that if  we are above 18 then we are the BHAGYAVIDHATAS of our nation.

 

      Many jawans have laid down their lives and many rupees have been siphoned off from the treasury of the govt of INDIA and don’t you feel ashamed and disheartened, if YES comes from your heart then do give VOTE this time . Giving VOTE comes once in 5yrs and don’t miss the opportunity. We had not given the vote last time and choosen the wrong candidate that’s why we are all suffering now and if you still don’t give your vote then you as well as your children will suffer in later course of time. So do you want that????? Choice is yours and responsibility is yours and future is yours. BE A PART OF DEMOCRACY.
