Ludhiana To Vote

Voting in India is a Constitutional right. It has been a tendency among voters, especially in the urban areas, to treat the voting day as a day of rest. While skipping the vote may not seem to cause any harm, the long-term consequences are disastrous.
Voting is the agent of change. If the people of India think that the ruling government is not performing its duties satisfactorily, they can show it the door by voting against it.
In a country so populous, a voter might feel that a single vote does not make any difference. However, the balance tilts when this becomes a national attitude and lakhs or crores of votes are not cast. By casting their vote, citizens may not necessarily be able to get the best candidate elected, but by not casting their vote they improve the chances of the unsuitable ones winning the polls.
Voting offers every citizen a medium of expression. The process of voting allows every citizen to have a say in what should constitute the matters of importance by voting for the candidate he or she deems fit for the purpose.
Voting is as much a responsibility as it is a right. The whole edifice of Indian Democracy is built on the foundation of voting. If citizens are not careful about casting their vote it will jeopardize the existence of our Democratic Republic.
We at Lions Club Ludhiana Decent will definitely vote and also request all to cast their vote for the social welfare and development of our city as well as country.
We again request all Ludhiana Citizens to Vote.
(The Author is President, Lions Club Ludhiana Decent.)
