India goes in for general elections on April 16th. It is our duty to make sure that each one of us goes to the polling booth and exercise our vote.
In recent times many people in urban India tend to give arguments that all politician are bad and nobody deserves the vote. What we need to realize here is, that they are bad because we chose them so over the years. We ourselves our responsible for them. At some point in time we decided to overlook merit and chose Film stars, Wives & sons, and most of all criminals to represent us. To change this, we consistently need to choose the better candidates in successive elections. We need to choose people who address the real issues of inclusive development. Then maybe in a few years, we would start liking our politicians and they would again become the true representatives.
A vote provides us the power to judge the performance of our representative and the power to choose the correct person, lets not waste it. After all in the words of Spider man's Uncle:
"With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility"
