Rahul's magic worked for Congress/UPA... BJP/NDA pays for what they didn't do

If you do not know, this Rahul is not me but Rahul Gandhi. Election Results swere declared today and Congress registered one of its biggest wins in recent times by getting almost 206 seats and UPA getting a clear majority as well. The youth leader in Rahul has definitely clicked well with youngsters and the Gandhi in his surname clicked well with the poor & masses. He does seems like an efficient leader and a high potential candidate for future PM (Prime Minister) as well. Although I think Rahul should wait for sometime to be PM, he should take some ministry & prove his credentials as an efficient leader & administrator. For a PM he needs more experience as well, PM is a big job afterall. Manmohan Singh is a nice person but not a great PM, we need to get someone better. However, I have a problem with this family politics, Sonia has clicked well because she's Gandhi & same applies to Rahul as well (till now). New people should get opportunity too... there are good people.. but they are not in politics as they think its too dirty... but someone has to get in that dirty ditch to try to clean it.

With NDA, BJP is still the second largest party which would be sitting in opposition but nothing else. They haven't done anything or any ground work in last 5 years, atleast that's how it seems to common people like us. As the second largest party you should do something for the nation and play a constructive/efficient opposition but they have been good for nothing. Also it seems there ground workers didn't work much for the party or the nation. Narendra Modi does seems like some hope for the party & may be good for nation too (but still I say that he needs to improve his image as a nationally accepted leader). I am glad that the 3rd & 4th front and the others didn't get much as it was quite important for us as a nation to get clearer judgement. This is a verdict against there bad choice of leaders & also towards hope for a stable government.

One last this which I have realised that I and many of us are not in favor or against any party and we don't need to be either. I am in favor of our country and whoever does well or is ready to try to do well is right for us. All I would still like is the right to elect leader of the nation directly; in such a big democracy we should be able to select & elect our Head of the Nation. That person should be the one whom we can proudly call our leader. Hopefully whoever will become leader (most probably Manmohan again though) now will try to do some good for the nation & not do anything like last 5 years. This is not the time to just sit idle & wait for something bad to happen & then try to correct it or just do nothing as atleast no bad happens. This is the time to step ahead & try to do something for the nation even if their are risks involved or anything. We have to become more aggressive & progressive to grow & become the BEST!!!

So what do you people think about direct elections for the Head of Nation? And how do you feel about Rahul or Modi? Any other views you might want to share... In the mean time, please keep blogging and keep reading & commenting on my blogs. This is RAHUL saying, Good Bye & Good Luck... JAI HO, JAI HIND!!!!!

Lets make India better... & Best!!!!

I have nothing to defend or to offend anyone, but its exciting to see that youth does thinks about voting and wants to talk about it. I did not vote this time, and I am not proud of it. I really wanted to vote but could not; I have an agenda behind not voting. Voting is our right & responsibility, with every big power comes big responsibilities and we should know how to use it in the right way. I am not sure if I can do it right, because I do not have an option to do right. I did my homework of collecting information & details about the parties & the candidates as well. You can check the candidate details on MYNETA & rest you can do by checking some first hand information; I did it & trust me the information you get is not very fruitful but mostly disappointing. And political parties have been trying to fool us always. Congress has a puppet PM & a ruling history of last 5 yrs or 60 yrs which is not very appreciable. There may be some hope in Rahul Gandhi but he still needs experience & should prove his worth first. BJP has been confused itself & confusing the voters too by not being sure what it wants to do & what party it is. Have you heard the stupid promises of increasing tax limits or paying lakh rupee to all girls and all that, you need to explain that how are you gonna do that?? I feel that Modi is a strong and efficient leader, however he needs to improve his image in nation's eyes. I don't think I need to say much about leaders like Mayawati, Mulayam Singh, Laloo Prasad, Paswan & others. These are the people who think of themselves as future PMs and we cant do much about it. Is it acceptable in a huge democracy that at the time of election we do not know who is gonna be the Leader of the nation & we do not even get to choose him. It all depends on coalitions & some greedy/shrewd politicians who'll decide the leader of our great nation. Due to all these VOTING campaigns and all that, voting has become a col phenomena but still we do not understand the importance & responsibility of our right to vote. You need to make sure that you vote for the right party & candidate, but where are the right party & candidates? And you don't get to select the leader of nation, I don't like it either. We already have election for Villages, Municipality, MLA, MP etc for local development & all that; however in a huge democracy like India, we should get the right to select the leader of our nation in national elections. And we should get the right to not vote & select no one. These things Will force the political parties and organisations to bring better leaders. And if they can't then we should come up & try to become better leaders for our nation.

I appreciate everyone's interest & concern for these issues and comments here, really excited to see it. It is definitely good to express your views and share opinions so we can think together and make right decisions. We know that our country needs improvement & needs a change. By voting or not voting, but we have to think of those ways and we have to bring that change as it is our right & responsibility. We can do it & we will do it. Thanks everyone & All the Best, to all of us & our nation... Jai Hind!!

Please VOTE... but I won't!!

You must have been hearing this a lot lately (the 1st part) by different ads/campaigns etc & promoted by many celebrities, so I had to chip-in too (I have responsibilities too as to-be-celebrity naa). Please do vote as it is very important for you to exercise your right of vote as a responsible citizen. That would be your small contribution towards the development of our nation by picking the right leaders who can lead our nation to growth & prosperity. It's a truth that every vote counts; specially when people are winning by a margin of few hundred votes or even less sometimes. So it's time to use your vote as weapon to fight against corruption, poverty, terrorism and everything else; your right vote will take the nation in the right direction... this is your chance to make the difference!! If you do not know about the candidate at your place or want to check any other then you can visit MY-NETA. For any queries about voting etc, you may visit JAAGO-RE.

However, I know you guys are more interested in listening to why I say 'I won't'... If you guys remember that I didn't vote last time in Delhi Elections (read here) and I am thinking about not voting this time as well. The motive behind voting is to make a difference & make things better... but it doesn't really seems that I have any option of making things any better. Most of the parties & candidates are corrupt, shrewd, uneducated, uncivilized & worthless, are they going to make things better for us & our nation? I can go & vote for the best of the worst, but are we incapable of getting few good people out of more than a billion population? We can't select 545 good people out of this billion+ population? Actually we can't, because we do not have option available to select. And we do not eve have an easy option to say that we don't want to select, there is Article 49-O/Form 17-A but doesn't do much. I might try to do this if it works, however have heard that electoral officer are not happy to do this as it causes too much paper work & all that (why don't they make a button for it on the EVM). Lets see what I'll do....

Anyways friends/foes/others... do try to go out & vote; if you are confused like me then go out & try to do the "not/cancelled vote", but do it. Sp, what do you think about this? And what are you planing to do? In the mean time, please keep blogging and keep reading & commenting on my blogs. This is RAHUL saying, Good Bye & Good Luck... JAI HO, JAI HIND!!!!!
