Why can't there be a "None of the above" (NOTA) option in the electronic voting machine (EVM) ??
This will make MPs/MLAs accountable transparent and responsible in the long run! Using the article 49-0 is a bul****t process! Nobody does that and nobody cares! And also it never empowers the Election Commission to disqualify a candidate. Please bring in #NOTA option in electronic voting machine & see the change! I won't say there will be a paradigm shift but a slow change.#NOTA option will also make the citizens responsible and accountable for running the government. Either you choose one or you REJECT all.

Make #NOTA stronger. If a candidate looses to NOTA votes he looses the
eligibility to stand as candidate in elections for next twenty
years.This will go a long way to clean up the politics.This will also stop politics of division of votes. Practically, general public won't go to vote if you don't pay them to vote. Thus #NOTA coming in majority is practically difficult-but still the politicians are afraid or against that idea! But still it a very important and urgent election reforms that has to be enacted.
Theoretically, it is actually not selection but rejection that takes place.When you look at the trend of Indian elections, the statistics show winning margin of average 20-25% votes in the voting percentage of 50-60%. Remember that too after the public is given bribes (min. Rs. 1000/- in cash per vote) to vote for them or in form laptops, phones, sarees and what not!
In places where people are more aware these bribing also not works and the voting percentage is below 50%. Not to forget a significant amount of eligible voters don't have their names in the voters' list-that is another way of manipulating results.
The voting percentage rises with awareness, reaches a saturation and then falls with increase in knowledge and experience - when the citizens realise he has no power to change anything with his voting power, and he stays away from voting. Abstaining from voting has a serious effect in multiparty elections than in bi-party systems like in Kerala and West Bengal.
If we give them a choice to reject the candidate- no one will be selected.Since it is practically difficult to implement that system it is enough to implement the REJECT ALL (#NOTA) into EVM to get that trend.

INDIA is called largest democracy in the world, but is run by parties which promote nepotism, corruption, criminals & communalism. #NOTA is the only way to cleanup!!!
Now in India everything stinks - judiciary to Lokayutta, Department of Science and Technology to Education ministry, ARMY to DRDO, DAE to ISRO, NREGA scams, 2G scams, CWG scam, IPL scams, and still nobody is held accountable.
In recent 2012 UP elections campaign Congress was portraying Rahul Gandhi as their Prime-ministerial candidate. BJP played a game-they declared if the congress looses the UP elections it will be termed as rejection of Rahul Gandhi. The congress suddenly made a U-turn in their campaign. they said Rahul Gandhi is not in the race of Prime-ministership. They brought in Priyanka Gandhi to emphasis that claim. In short, here nobody absolutely - nobody wants to be held responsible or accountable. This is a very good culture we developed!

#NOTA is the only option for the general public to show its anger of continued exploitation of the ruling parties & incompetent opposition.You can see so many number of scams and irregularities in the governance but the opposition is absolutely incompetent to bring the government down. There is a behind the door deal between every ruling party and the opposition that a common man on the road also knows. But he can't do anything. All these Bas****ds are eating the public money and we say chalta hai. We can't even touch their hair. They have billions of dollars of black money stashed in Swiss bank and we quietly and obediently pay our taxes! They have the A-Z security. They have the keys to all the gates they are the law makers and we the slaves. How long are we supposed to eat this sh*t?!
In this 21st century as U R Rao said "Right people needed to be put in the right place." The country's development was dependent on its science and technology and not on religion/region/Caste based politics.
They want the uneducated class to exist as huge eternal vote banks. The sad point of democracy is that-you will only get average of all individuals-mediocrity. The quality will get only poorer and poorer with larger chunk of illiterate population provided with voting rights and a thousand rupees note.
It is the responsibility of intellectuals (the dying numbers) to show these facts to the society. But now who is bothered?! How intelligently they killed the huge momentum of anti-graft movement ?!
Can we ever dream of doing anything against them?
Do we have a choice?
The
common man is now so used to these issues that he now never questions
them.The middle class, the so called literate, educated and
intellectuals, is a small percentage and government pleases them in
between by providing them with salary and DA hikes in between. This
class even tough a small percentage sets the trend in favour of ruling
party. This percentage may increase but will be kept so busy all the
time that they will only get the time and energy to make the both ends
meet. The rising cost of living and education is the main cause of their
worries. The privatization of education sector implies now that the
ones who have the money to pay for donation and capitation fees need
only study rest all will be provided with NREGA bonus. Then for entertainment they all the best saas-bahu and reality shows on the TV to stop them waking up to reality around. They are now more interested to know whether the child born to a celebrity couple is a boy or a girl than to know why the price rises after every elections?
There is nothing called as "Free Lunch". They
are killing with slow poison. They are making the people live for the
small pieces of bread thrown here and there and keep them begging as
they have forgotten to cultivate the wheat and make the bread on their
own.They want the uneducated class to exist as huge eternal vote banks. The sad point of democracy is that-you will only get average of all individuals-mediocrity. The quality will get only poorer and poorer with larger chunk of illiterate population provided with voting rights and a thousand rupees note.

I know none of these reforms will take place. And I know we won't revolt like the Arab Spring Revolutions - as either we believe in gandhigiri or are divided by caste/religion/region based politics. We can't and won't unite for a common cause. And these Bas****ds know that very well and will keep us ruling for many generations to come- why waste my time and energy.
