Pledge To Vote - Elect Country’s Leader


This summer 2019 is one crucial point of time that decides fate of the largest democracy in the world. Elections have commenced in an electorate of over 1.25 billion people; nearly 1/6th of the world population. Now ranked 6th in terms of GDP, India is poised to take its story high. 

Yes, make no mistake, The story of India is at cross roads “again”. 

Remember, America wasn’t built in day, Europe wasn’t built in a day and even the story of our arch-friend-foe China wasn’t built in a day. They too, like India, were at some point in time at the similar cross roads. And they made the right call and rest is history. 

One wrong outcome would entirely change the direction this country and ultimately its destiny. We were already at this same cross road in 2004 but unfortunate fate had its way and we fell back to a decade of decay from 2004 to 2014. We betrayed a leader like Vajpayee and gave away the country to crooks. 

Fortunately, we are at the same cross road “again”. 

In a democracy, electoral freebies are words of doom in the long run. Venezuela for example; And India can’t afford such a scenario with over a billion people at this point of time where wars are being fought in cyberspace and lives are connected on cellphones in your hands.

I appeal to you my friends - Pledge to Vote  keeping the country’s interest in mind. Your vote may not return you hefty incentives as per your personal expectations but it certainly does return to the country and to its future generations to come. 

P.S: I’ve no second thoughts about my vote. Its already Modi’s.
