Vote for Good

It was an afternoon with temperatures soaring head high. The temperatures weren't political
but Geo-climatic.I was traveling via the Ambedkar circle; Race course Baroda. There was some clout a band of reporters and cameramen were crowding the turning bottleneck. All were screaming with banners all around.

Vote for Balu Shukla, BJP. I saw the banners and thought yet another politician.

I came home and had a chat with my father who's a doctor regarding this upcoming election and why we still have the same corrupt politicians.He said it was not system's fault alone. Its ours.We are not politically inclined people.Rather we shunn politics as if its Dirty job and cleaning is not our responsibility.

If only we had some more politicians like Balu Shukla, he said. Bells started ringing in my forehead.He was praising his intellect, efficiency and willingness to work for the people's good.

I was not convinced by his statement and went for further investigations and found his ground approach a reality.He's been going deep into gutters to help choke out while being a mayor, promoted education at different levels,improved traffic tracking system, roped in investments in Baroda.Even today I saw on-paper balance of incomes provided by him and they were realistic.

There's lots that even I donot know.Just a small period of work in the grandiose history of Baroda and appreciable work.Let's not crib about the system being dirty and nasty; but see scrunitize the right candidate and vote for him/her.

Let's Vote for growth and development. Let's Vote for good.
