The General Elections for the Legislative Assembly will be held in Jammu and Kashmir after 10 years in three different phases. Model Code Conduct will remain enforced till the announcement of results. Almighty knows best what conditions we poor people of Jammu and Kashmir have seen for decades during which major development was entitled on 05 August 2019 by bifurcation of the then Jammu and Kashmir state into two Union Territories.
From the last election of 2014, new leaders of many parties also came into existence and many contractors with these leaders contracted people many times. Sometimes they sold these people in Kishtwar and sometimes in Doda.
But Alas! When the poor people’s contract is done and the contractor grabs the price of the poor, then the Tana Shahi is also seen there. A lot of people earned riches by selling the nation, but unfortunately in my society, they did not even earn that respect for the last people. How long will you continue to be a contractor? Do you even talk about the poor people? Don’t be ashamed to wear a white collar and call yourself the leader of the Nation and a sympathizer.
These contractors are not even ashamed that sometimes in one party, sometimes in another party, sometimes in the third party, and finally Independent as they don’t get a mandate from their political party to grab the chair under their nook and corner.
Opinionated on the options and views, the Election Commission of India has introduced a symbol to reject all the political parties and independent candidates by casting their vote in favor of NOTA by becoming a *Greater Participation toward Larger Democracy* to boost the morale of voters. The innocent voters are unaware of the ideology of all such political leaders who are used to grabbing their chairs by showing moon stars during election campaigns and a campaigner of a political party who even doesn’t have to get any benefit or opportunity is getting to motivate a voter just that He is the contestant of the election.
It’s an opportunity for the general society to cast their vote in favor of a Secular Party or their candidate. Besides avoiding and losing this opportunity, if you are not having a secular candidate, cast their vote in favor of NOTA, the last button below the Electronic Voting Machine.
