YES , I WILL VOTE !!!

I was just done with my breakfast, and I heard a knock at the door. Every single day you get new promises and gifts on the door. And again I met a person with neat and clean kurta reciting the same Marathi dialogue “Lakshya Asu Dya ! ”” (Do have your favour with us.) In an era where no one knows what will happen tomorrow,everyone tries to convince me to vote for themselves, showing me a virtual image of my city, with no baseline and a outline.

After he left off,I was just wondering that this politics affects everybody irrespective of your age and background.Though the depth of actual politics remains unspecified, every one of us believe that he or she knows every bit of it. Ironically, the things said are not synced with the things done post elections.

We really don’t want the parodied songs to impress us, Nor the hoax of promises which are (unfortunately) ending up undone. Today, we as youngsters are really not keen or inclined towards a specific political party. Now we all have reached a bottle neck where we want to see the efforts paying off. Let's stop being hesitant towards these generations entering into politics and (only) making money and fulfilling the needs, obviously their own to be specific. First and foremost problem is the un-synchronization between the educational qualifications of the candidates and the positions they hold. There has to be a bridge for this scenario. 

Exceptions exist though but every coin has 2 sides. When we talk about elections, many of us enjoy the ‘vacation’ thus not utilizing our democratic rights and eventually duties. How many of us go and vote as a responsible citizen on that very day keeping forth the work of that person, his qualification and his dedication towards us. After blindly choosing the candidate why do we grin about his work??

The day all valid voters will vote,will be the moment where those faces can be questioned for their work because it is unfair to thrust a list of grievances at these leaders without making an effort to work out for it.What we sow.. yields!

It is hard to trust any candidate, the one who were in love with the beliefs of their party are found switching parties which results in lack of confidence in them. On the other side, when so many strong contenders wish to stand from the same half, won’t it lead to internal clashes? These questions the "commitment" . But again the positivity in me tries to focus on his work.Why are we so resistant?

While the city is highly influenced with the politics and citizens do show keen interest in every ongoing around the city. It isn’t easy for the promoters to convince the voters and hence there comes in paisa (after demonitisation). May be directly or indirectly,it reaches most of the voters and accepted too for that momentary happiness. Some try to bribe you by hitting your emotional nerves. Everyone may admire and aspire to be Shivaji Maharaj, but fellows, if we could have find one like him in this era, definitely things would have been better.

Election is a process and right of every citizen to elect the one who has that caliber and quality to identify the problems, suggest the solutions and implement the best in each section of society. we would love to see a leader who is educated well enough to answer the questions on global level and understand the need of each. After elections all those faces disappear like a balloon in the air.

As nashik is being nominated as a smart city it's an exciting aperture for the leaders to take it to a whole new level. Yes and then we can say a right to vote is moreover a duty to vote. Because if I expect that person to change my city, shall i not ask for the change?Why don't we care for the society where we live more than ourselves?

We all dream of a tomorrow where this election aura will taken a turn, Leaders distributing the books for kids in slums instead of those pamphlets being thrown all around, a highly presentable leader with a vision of his work and good experience in past. This all won't remain a dream if we choose our candidate keenly.

This elections, let's show them that we are not the apathetic youth, the way media has stereotyped us, so if you want things to change, make it happen!

If you want the CHANGE in society , please come forward and cast your VOTE
