Please vote

India’s problems are complex. And unfortunately these are compounded by
vote-bank politics. Instead of uniting the different sections of
society, many politicians divide it to keep their vote banks intact. If
people are united, politicians won’t be able to get votes through
divisive politics. In such a situation, the only way for them to win
votes would be through good performance. As citizens, we must protect
our country from those who manipulate issues for their personal gains
and who lead by playing vote-bank politics. Those with vested interests
support insensible decisions and oppose sensible ones. We have to steer
clear of such leaders. We must encourage broad-minded politicians and
leaders to come forward and take charge, and to educate and uplift the
society – spiritually, morally and socially. We need leaders who are
satya-darshi (truthful), sam-darshi (equanimous), priya-darshi
(pleasant), paar-darshi (transparent) and door-darshi (visionary). So,
before we elect our leaders, we should examine their qualifications. We
must elect leaders who will do away with policies based on caste,
creed, religion and region; who will ensure that every child gets a
multi-cultural, multi-dimensional education.
