We all end up saying one thing again and again that it is the failure of the government and what can we normal citizens do about it. Well to be frank we the citizens can do a lot of things, to start with we can elect the political brass of the country.
Now a lot of you will think that one more preacher is here to ask us to vote, but what the hell will one vote do for the country. So I will just narrate a simple story about the constituency where I cast my vote. The current MLA from the area had no chance of winning the elections and had more or less given up on the seat, and the contestant say Mr. Politician was all lined up to win. The chances of his win were so high that most of the people supporting him did not even bother to vote and the result he lost by a mere 6000 odd votes, than people talked and forgot as to how he lost. He lost because his supporters were mostly the educated middle class people and for them going out to vote seemed like an activity with no results and thus they said any which way Mr. Politician is all set to win why waste my Holiday to go out and Vote.
It is not the case with only one good politician but most of them, as the people who are capable of selected the right candidate do not want to vote want as it seems to be hassle to go out and stand in the line and cast the ballot to them. But have you ever thought that this hassle of say an hour makes a huge impact on things are going to be handled in the future.
But what to say we are educated and if we all vote and elect the right candidate would it be a kill joy of sorts, we would not have the topics for discussions on coffee table with friends and relatives and more than that whom would we blame for our shortcomings, our lack of ownership, our lack of conviction blah blah bah...
People you need to get up and decide what do you want to do, do you want hot discussion topics or do you want to kill the discussion and make an impact right away....
The Choice is Yours... Vote and make a difference.....
