Why I Voted?

Why I Voted?

Today I voted for the very first time in my life. I am that kind of a person who has no excitement left in his life, but today’s experience sort of excites me. I don’t know why?? When I was heading towards the polling booth, I felt butterflies of excitement hovering in my stomach.

When I reached booth I heard some people were talking that their vote would not make any difference because votes were already brought by crorepati politicians then “Why Vote?” It took me some time to think about the answer of those questions-

o  ‘Why Vote’ if everyone is corrupt???

o  ‘Why Vote’ if my vote is not even going to count???

That’s why I wrote this note in which I am going to tell WHY I VOTED?

ü I Voted because it is our sacred right and I respect my Right to Vote, It’s a privilege that many people in the world still don’t have.

ü  I Voted because it will be our voice for those who are going to be elected.

ü I Voted because I believe in ‘being the change’ and it will effect change.

ü I Voted because I want to celebrate 26^th  January in true manner, the day when we became republic and too many martyrs gave away their lives for that.

ü I Voted because I wanted to honour the past and support the future.

ü I Voted because now I can raise questions unhesitantly as I have done my part and now it’s their time to prove them worthy.

ü I Voted because I will consider myself hypocrite if I didn’t vote and still going to blame the politicians for doing nothing for our country.

ü I Voted because I don't want government of the people, by the people and for the people to perish from our country.

ü I Voted because I am a person with hopes and I hope one day our country will be free from politicians who only think of themselves, not for the betterment of the countrymen.

ü I Voted because if I don't I have no right to complaint about the bad works/ scams/ corruption done by politicians.

I think those were enough reasons which may let you came out from your comfort zone to go and vote for India.

I know now you were thinking about another reason for not going to the polling booth to cast your vote, which I think should be-

o  What if one didn't like any candidate??

No problem if you did not like any of the candidates from your constituency, you can now press NOTA button. But do vote this time‘Not for you But for your country and your fellow countrymen’.
