India has spoken, and how! It has chosen development over the noisy, short-sighted and sometimes downright pathetic rants of some selfish fools. These politicians will never realize what the people want.

This time around, young first time voters were quite large in number. The youth have a completely different mindset and perspective than what most political parties are used to. We have grown up watching our leaders throw chairs and chappals at each other and listened to those election promises over and over to the point of being clichéd. We are tired of divisive, religion, caste based and hate politics. Personally, all I would want is to study and do my job well, go home and spend some quality time with family and friends, go on a fun holiday, do something constructive…not waste my life fighting, swearing at or degrading other people over some petty issues.

UPA won by a thumping margin and although the full credit should go to the humble Dr. Manmohan Singh and the young Rahul Gandhi, the Congress should also thank it’s opponents. The first remark, ’125 saal ki budhiya’ showed the people that the Congress still had the most experience in the field. The second about ‘dynasty politics’, a reference to Milind Deora, Priya Dutt, Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Scindia among others, put the spotlight on the new, educated breed of politicians that the Congress had.

Heartiest congratulations to the UPA for pulling off this win. And although they have achieved a majority, I hope the Congress rules responsibly and takes clear headed decisions. Alongwith economic reforms, they should look to uplift the population starting with the most economically challenged and downtrodden sections of our society and seek a positive change in their lifestyle. Here’s hoping for a true ‘India Shining’ 

Dear Citizen of India,

Here is something you should be proud of.

35 states and union territories voted together across 543 constituencies where about 1055 political parties plus probably twice as more the independent candidates were battling out across 8,28,804 polling booths where about 13,68,403 EVMs were secured by 61 lakh civil personnels so that 71,40,00,000 (71 crore and 40 lakh) registered voters could come and make a choice of their candidates, it just cannot get anything bigger than this.

Every constituency was divided into an average of 1526 polling booths

Close to 11 thousand civil personnel were deployed in every constituency to take care of about 13 lakh voters in your constituency

VoteIndia.in applauds the effort of the Election Commision of India in conducting this mammoth exercise flawlessly.

We sincerely hope that you were a part of this phenomenon of “Indian Parliamentary Elections 2009”.

Jai Hind.

As we know that there are about 14 crore TV sets accross India. If we assume that a family consists of 5 members then, 60 crore people get access to TV, but other 52crore do not. Also in urban India (about 40 crore) fix toward wrong & illogical channels that made TV an idiot box.

Lok Sabha Channel is a neutral channel. It neither supports UPA,NDA,independents, nor it tries to politically motivate. It shows all the events (like Question hour, Zero hour, & all others). We all should watch this sessions, since MPs are in power because of us. We vote them and give them power, so we should know what they are doing in Parliament. This should be done in rural areas too.

Some might say that MPs made a ‘Sabji ki Mandi‘ in the Parliament. I feel that all MPs are not the hippocrites(like Omar Abdullah, Sachin Pilot. etc who want to serve). So, rural people too are responsible to give them power. Why should not they know about the sessions in the Parliament?

We have completed the dissemination of affidavit information and all emails were sent prior to the date of phase elections. This is another small step towards our goal of getting good leaders elected and of good governance. The entire team’s been putting in efforts for over a month now and it feels really good to have achieved this. The support that we’ve got from people is very encouraging, keep it coming!
