Here's me, your friendly DESEEMORON, the village idiot, once again with a thought which may not be irrelevant at present times. For once, even I might be making sense! Don't you think...?
Go put India in safe
hands;
Yours!
India is at the
threshold of a historic change. Within two days a journey would commence, which
might change its destiny for a long time to come.
You
guessed it right!
It is the
Parliamentary Elections 2014, which kick off from Monday the 7th
April. From that day till a month after, an ordinary Indian will take a step to
accomplish the most extra-ordinary task of his life. Contribute to forming the
new Government for world’s largest democracy, India. Irrespective of cast,
creed, gender, religion, education, financial status, social or cultural
belief, an adult citizen of this great country would exercise a right which he
secured after a long struggle put up by his forefathers in the face of one of
the fiercest and longest battles for freedom from a foreign ruler, anywhere in
the world.
And, sixty six years
ago, when this battle was won, it was not only the independence that was
obtained from an outside regime; a solemn right was restored for every Indian
to determine for himself as to who should govern him from then after. It was a tryst
with destiny. A promise to secure for the peoples of this great civilisation, a
position of high glory among the comity of nations!
Once again, the time
has come to redeem that pledge. The time for one to exercise the right to form
the Administration at the centre that will govern the entire India.
And that ‘one’; that
important person, is YOU.
Because, as a result
of this election, even more than several parliamentary elections before, the
new Government will not only have to provide food, shelter and clothing to each
one of its more than a billion people and meet their basic necessities such as
medical help, education, water, electricity, security and employment, it will
have to do more.
It will have to take
India on a much higher trajectory of growth and development to meet the
aspirations of the largest population of young citizens anywhere in the world.
It will have to secure for them a position of eminence among the peoples of the
most highly developed countries on the globe. Besides, it will have to
ascertain for them a much larger freedom for all times to come. The freedom
from fear, disease and hunger.
Remember also,
that if India has to move on a fast track of development, it has to be freed
from galloping inflation, corruption, inertia in decision making, stagnation in
production, disinformation and prejudices alongside motivating each citizen to
do his/her best towards nation building. All this calls for a very high order
of dedication, honesty and integrity on the part of each person who will participate
in the process of forming the next government. A heavy responsibility indeed.
Now, if you are that
‘important person’ to determine all this, who can you trust the most for taking
the right step? Naturally, YOU.
So, the date of polling has come. Pick up your
voter ID card, go to the polling booth and cast your precious vote for the
right candidate.
Till the next time,
DESEEMORON.
