Elections are on us again and the world's largest democracy will have its next Ruler in around Six weeks time, but is anything going to change for the common Man?

Government after Government has come and gone and in spite of all the Political parties claiming responsibility for the growth , the sad truth remains that salary has grown by just a percent against a growth of 5% in productivity, in the last 2 decades (Courtesy:ILO). Put in Simple words, people have not earned their respective Due.

Compare this against the $1.5 trillion stashed away in Safe Haven of Switzerland. Although the Government of Switzerland has expressed its willingness to provide details of its account holders, the Indian Government has not asked for it.

The BJP, which is the main opposition party , claims that it will bring out the details if it comes to power, but I seriously doubt it and the reasons for it are too Obvious to be stated.

In such a scenario, what do we do? whom do we vote for? Our vote seems hardly seems to matter as there is not much of a difference regardless of whoever is in power. The Election Commission says that 70% of the people in the age group of 18-25 have not even registered with the Election Commission. The response that you are likely to get is that, Things are not going to change regardless of whoever comes to power.

Well, My dear friends, we finally have a way out. Our choice 49-O. The right which the constitution provides us to say that we Vote for None. A few clarifications here, Even if 49-O were to emerge with the highest number of votes to its name, the elections will not be held again or be declared as null and void. The candidate who has got the highest number of votes (excluding 49-O) will be declared as the winner.

Then why the hell vote for 49-O? 49-O will serve as a Warning bell to our candidates,Imagine the amount of embarrassment that a candidate will have to face when he comes to know that more people have voted for None in his constituency. In this age of Media, this will create a huge embarrassment and whichever government which takes charge ( Some Government will.I say this because most of the Rural public are not aware of this option) will strive its best to salvage its image.

So Let us start this change, let us go out and vote,let us create awareness about this amidst the Masses, let us do it for all the people who are suffering, let us do it for our fellow friends and for the future of this Nation.
