The IPL

In this Election season, jaagore campaign has been a real hit, atleast in media. though the reports on polling seems to contradicting all that. But nevertheless JaagoRe for me is a revolutionary initiative which will pay dividend in coming years. Elections in India have become a Strat Mgmt class. With umpteen number of regional parties coming over last few years, a hope for a single party stable govt has faded into oblivion.
Though i'm a big supporter of national Parties because they bring in a lot of stability to the country, the thing that regional parties cater well to their designated regions can't be denied. Also being a young country India has not really matured enough to vote for development and prosperity.She is a country, whose majority still votes based on cast and religion. However sorry it may be, but it is the truth. Living in urban posh areas the educated class seldom ponder over these themes.
But there is nothing in it to be disheartened.Of late our politicos have improved, atleast IMO. They hold the key to the bright future for India. But one dilemma faced by voters is Candidate vs Party. Sometimes candidate are so good both politically and personally, that you just cant vote against them, but then they represent parties with which you do not identify yourself. and then there are cases when you want to vote for a parties manifesto but the candidate put up by that party is a disgrace to Politics.
This is a big question that needs to be answered.I still havent found an answer to it.Voting for candidate is equivalent to voting for party at centre. Hope so i come across an article which can resolve this dilemma.

true very true.This is the case because the parties select the "winnable" not "suitable" candidates for elections. The only solution can be when people like us compel party heads to understand that from now on suitable candidates can be the winnable candidates.There is an option while voting, "Vote to nobody". 1 million such votes will be enough to compel the parties to change their "sick" strategy.
