Our state is polled for the 17th parliamentary election – that’s happening at many phases across the country –
and today I exercised my franchise by casting my vote to torch symbol that represents
the Makkal Neethi Maiyam (People Justice Center) headed by actor Kamal Haasan but
I wasn’t intend to poll for the party and I doubt will I voted MNM if the
candidate wasn’t R. Rangarajan IAS. I read his profile, ideology presented as manifesto
and the clear state of mind on political scenario and expressing the intentions
to implement on the constitution and overall a coolly personality to enrich his
duty. The voluntarily retired, as sub-collector and officer on duty, joined MNM
party to serve people directly after inspired by Kamal’s political ideology and
he’s an important pillar in designing the party manifesto.
I never voted just considering a party alone.
For me, first it was the candidate and I believe only if we select the right
person better things could happen because he’s going to be the connector
between the govt. and people and if it’s going to be a problem how we could receive
good signals. Candidates are the
basement of a strong parliament or legislative and anyone defective could bring
deceive to people. Though I don’t say who I voted were the best but I tried to choose
who’s better through my perception rather opt for party politics. I believe in
the saying ‘politics isn’t corrupt but the politicians’, so here I want to
choose a right representative to talk to their leadership in achieving the goals
for the constituency. I initially thought of voting the opposite party
candidate but changed my decision, though she had a good profile she sounded like
a party depended.
At the end of the poll Tamil Nadu (our
state) recorded 70% of voting and to my disappointment my constituency (Chennai
South) becomes the 2nd least record percentage with 58% following 57
% in Centre Chennai. I see this as a
democratic assassination because Chennai South is where the most educated live and
economically leading. The Chennai IT corridor comes under this constituency and
well established education institutions, and posh and upper middle families
lives lot there alongside dense labour communities but still this less
percentage gives a shame on people. When other constituencies recorded above 70%
with most rural aspect, these city dwellers (who benefits lot) failed to be
socially responsible and democratically right.

Beard is looking good, Jeevan!
Take care.
Thankful for the right to vote. Happy weekend!
The worst thing in our country is people have short memories. They keep on electing the ones offering sops without understanding that such parties do it for securing votes and forget their promises after winning.
Yes, one must avail the right to vote.
I’m glad you decided to vote. I vote every time I get the opportunity, even though the results are not what I would have preferred.
If only every citizen starts making their choice based on the right candidate rather than a party, things will improve in our country....Good choice Jeevan.
