Your vote will determine your govt!

othing is more important than Voting, so make sure to cast your Vote

- DR VIJAY DARDA

The moment for voting in the Maharashtra Assembly elections is ahnost here. Candidates have worked hard to win your favour with promises and assurances. You've listened to them, observed their actions and evaluated their claims. Now it's your turn to decide. Before casting your vote, assess your candidates carefully: How capable are they? What are their qualifications? How have they behaved in the past? How aware are they of the needs of your area? Consider these questions, along with any others you may have. Only after a thorough evaluation you should decide whom to vote for. Remember, your vote will determine the government. The fate of the state for the next five years depends on your choice. So, don't forget to vote!

I understand that there are challenges ahead. During the election campaign, efforts have been made to mislead you based on caste, religion and language. I've gone through some analyses claiming that a certain constituency has so many voters of a particular caste, religion or language group. Naturally, this can influence people. Some might think, "This candidate is from my caste, so I should vote for him or her." But is this the right approach?
