VOTE FOR NONE

The elections for the 15th Lok Sabha has been finished finally.All the political parties,election commission,news channels and all the critics are worried for only one thing that why people not going to vote?The percentage of voting has reached above 50% only at a few places.If we try to find the average there would hardly be 45 to 50% voting held this election.how can we say that the government is democratic when half of the population has not participated in the polling?

After the election a solution is being told by some people that there should be an extra button on the EVM for 'none of the above'.Means if a voter doesn't like any of the candidate from the list he can use it.but i think this is not a solution,this is just waste of resources.

just think,if a person is not going to vote for the available candidates why would they go for using this option?The reason for less voting is very simple and known by all,that people have no faith in any party,and this is because no party is trying to solve the public related problems.Politics has just became the game of rich,in which the common or the weaker section of the society do not have any participation.They are used as pawns.This is the main reason people not go to the polling booths.

To solve the problem of less voting all parties have to work for the welfare of the common.They will have to gain the faith of the people again by giving tickets to the honest candidates in the elections.The common have became sick of seeing these corrupt and fake candidates those who tries to prove themselves the leaders of the public,but people understand at least a little politics.So they think what 'we would change by voting for any dishonest candidate?'It compels them to stay at home on the polling day and let them celebrate it as a holiday.

To win the election all parties spend millions of bucks in the advertisement,they visit their constituencies by helicopters,they publish their ads on TV,they write blogs,maintain their websites in a country where just about 10% people use the Internet,they send SMS etc. and after the polling they start declaring themselves the winners.That is really foolish thing.They do everything to win the hearts of the people except working for the welfare of the people after getting in the power.

So i want to say that the option of 'vote for none' is not going to change anything.It will not affect the corrupt candidates.To solve this problem EC have to make the rules tighten for the non deserving candidates.So that they would not be able to fight the election.

Political parties should give more and more tickets to the honest candidates whether they are rich or poor.Then see the reaction of the voters and the coting percentage! it will change the fate of few political parities as well as our Great Nation.
