With a population of around 120 crores, India is undoubtedly the largest democratic state of the World. However, do we Indians deserve the right to elect our own Government?
Every day, we start our small and petty lives with the news of a scam, mostly masterminded by the politicians. Who are these politicians? They are elected by us, to serve us. They are our leaders.
Recently, Jagan Mohan Reddy of YSR Congress party was arrested by the CBI for allegedly acquiring a property of 43,000 crores. Just to understand the figures, if the money is distributed, every Indian will get 358 crores. Yet, people of Andhra Pradesh voted for his party and the party came out of the elections with flying colors. So, what could be the possible reason behind such an election?
Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy has definitely introduced some great schemes for the poor. Arogya Sree is an example for such initiatives. But, isn't it the work of a Chief Minister to look after the people of the state? Why does the people doesn't understand the simple fact the Jagan is misusing his father's name and power for his personal benefits?
It is us, the people have to change. As long as we cast our votes for such politicians, they will treat us like this only.
If we talk statistics, the General elections will receive 50% to 55% voting. That means, 45 people for every 100 in India are not voting at all. Either these people are lazy or too busy, not to cast their vote.
It is an open secret that the political parties buy the votes of the people with money, liquor. No educated(socially responsible) man would accept these favors for their vote. That gives me an opportunity to infer that at least 70% the voters have sold their votes. That means, only 30% of the votes that were cast were by unbiased and genuine individuals.
Casting your vote without any bias would do miracles. Imagine a 100% polling which includes those of educated, who can think. Politics will not be a profitable business anymore. One can not amass thousands of crores in a span of 5 years. Abraham Lincoln famously said, Government is of the people, by the people, for the people. If the government is formed by us, then only it can work for us.
Every Indian must understand the importance of his vote and act accordingly. If left as is, this country will go back to stone ages. The sacrifices by many of our leaders like Gandhi, Bose or Bhagat Singh would be a mere waste. At least they had to fight an outsider. We need to fight against our own country men to make this country a great one.
I strongly feel, Indians as citizens of India doesn't deserve Democracy as long as a bottle of cheap liquor can buy our votes.
