Recently ,soon after the uprising of Mr.Anna Hazare (and an even faster repose) i have read a newspaper supporting the self-procalimed "Gandhian" philosophy of "NO vote" in the elections ..........Shocking......It sounds pretty similar to a candidate writing an examination and discovers an xtraa option of "none of the above" at the last....Mind you ,that it is the most critical and the toughst to mark....A dilemna for me and most of my kind !!! Mr.Hazare seems to forget about all the money that is being spend by the election commision and the government to conduct an election or he either takes it for granted ..."Who cares about money, I care only about black money kept at Swiss bank!!!"...thats his ideology .....Now ,we have a situation.....Either give people with an xtra option or provide them with lesser but more powerful options...The second one definitely sounds better....But Mr.Hazare and company won't listen..Why would he ?? Am no one....He neither listens to the government nor to the parliament ......Maybe a change in the parliament makes him more comfortable !!!
Anyways,providing with more powerful option wont be easy in todays politics....That will need efforts from everyone; the party needs to be more selective during assessment of a candidate..But then ,it wont guarantee his victory or the party's victory as people cast their vote based on parameters that they oppose infront of all.....
so ,all this would lead to everyone's loss..be it d party, be it the wiser candidate or be his devilious counterpart..
and who is actually responsible ? We the people.....But we never gonna accept that coz we are civilised people who cast their votes "intelligently".....So, a paradigm-shift is a must..change in ideology is d need of the hour.....
A mere inclusion of "No Vote" will never work.....And even if it does,how many elections will make u select a candidate ( taking it that u wont run out of money).....Come on folks,its not an "AIEEE" or "IIT_JEE" where u mark the none of the above to get urself out of the cumbersome calculation and thinking........Are u kidding me...........??
