T.N. Seshan (despite being very much part of a bad system) showed what was possible as far as the election system is concerned. To check him, 2 additional Chief-Electoral officers were added. Why was this perversion of the system allowed? How can there be 3 chiefs of the same organization? The present day CECs are a pale shadow of Seshan, even though they try to project themselves as pillars of the Indian system. So onus needs to be put on both sides with good understanding of why people fail to vote.

As a citizen, I think voting is a privilege like freedom of speech, not a duty like paying taxes. While I can exercise that freedom if I want to, I should not be forced to do so.

I suggest please reply to some of the bloggers who appear serious. 2) Sir, you take up good topics but then you are not just a statesman you are a political party leader too and it would be good if you write on important party issues too.

“Congress won because of a few young faces. In BJP, there are young faces but are not seen enough. ”

They are not seen because media does not want to focus on them in their news channels. But respective constituencies and people know whom to vote for. Irrespective of who you give the ticket to, the important thing is he/ she must work for the constituency. Other things hardly matter.

We people have an habit of living under dynasty kind of environment, so people still vote just looking at a few dynastic young faces.

Hindutva ideology is very big. Media persons like Barka Dutt, Arnab Goswami, Pronnoy Roy can not understand it. Their channels are largely funded by FDI, so they need to speak against Hindutva at any cost.
