		<description>Rao harsh vardhan singh @ HERSCHE

"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.

I still believe that priority must be given to seniors and then few seat can be reserved for young candidates within party rules. BJP has very good option of bringing new faces from ABVP as they used to do give tickets to them in the past.

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.</description>

		<description>PRANAAM ,

I must say that Advaani ji is very correct. But I want to suggest that the voting power must be taken away from illiterates or we should give graduates rights of 3 votes, post graduates 5 votes and higher studied people 7 votes. People who do not pay taxes should not be given right to vote .

I do not think any party works for country more that the BJP and larger Sangh pariwar. However, its association with RSS, VHP, SHIV SENA etc takes it away from the the young generation. They would further move away if BJP tries to teach them Hindutva and would not vote for BJP.

Congress won because of a few young faces. In BJP, there are young faces but are not seen enough. They get over-shadowed everytime RSS thrusts old people in the game. RSS must realize that the times have changed. 

Regards

		<description>Respected Advani Ji,

I am not so much educated or have political acumen but I can only say one thing that many people are facing problem just because the they are working in some other state. Whenever there is some election in their own state, they cannot come to exercise their voting rights. Even in some places, other people resort to bogus voting in their names with the help of local facilitators. 

We need strictly to have in place some system by which if a person can vote from any part of our country and even around the world. Many Indians these days travel overseas. They should not be deprieved just because they are out on work when the election takes place in their states/ home towns. they should also be given a chance to participate in the election process.
 
Regards

		<description>Pradeep ji,

Most of the time election day falls on weekend or state/public holiday, very rare occasion it may happen that it may fall on week days. Even if so happens state govt announces holiday on eve of election day.

Regarding transportation it is not possible due to large section of people traveling in our country. In case if your not going then political parties supporters are there to take care of there party. So take little bit pain and go to home town and exercise your franchisee just it needs planning by arranging our schedule.
Hope for next TN's state assembly election you will take that much pain.

In my case I work in Hyderabad and my voting right is in Ahmadabad(Guj), during Lok Sabha election I did travel and exercised my franchisee and not only me, many more friends went to their states to caste their vote.</description>

		<description>आदरणीय महोदय,

आपने एक अच्‍छी पहल की है, वैसे शुरूआत भाजपा के ही गुजरात के मुख्‍यमंत्री माननीय नरेन्‍द्रजी मोदी कर चुके हैं। मैं समझता हूँ कि देश को अब अनिवार्य मतदान की और बढना चाहिये। जहॉं शिक्षित वर्ग मतदान के प्रति उदासीन होता जा रहा है वहीं तथाकथित वोट बैंक को घर से बाहर निकालने के लिए राजनैतिक दल भ्रष्‍ट्राचार का सहारा ले रहें है। भ्रष्‍टाचार देश और लोकतंत्र के लिये नासूर बन चुका है। क्‍या यहॉं यह जिक्र करना उल्‍लेखनीय नहीं होगा की आप सभी भाजपा के वरिष्‍ठजन मिलकर भाजपा शा‍सित राज्‍यों में पहल के साथ मतदान की अनिवार्यता लागू करावें जिससे देश में एक सकारात्‍मक संदेश जावे और भाजपा इसे लीड करें।</description>

		<description>Advaniji,

I am welcoming your words for compulsory voting. But this is not enough. One more important things is there. Please fix the day for voting may be Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday. I am from chennai. In Tamil Nadu most of the youth are working in chennai. If the voting day falls on Weekdays, it is tough to go to native and do the voting. 

My suggestion is:  Voting should be compulsry/ Voting day should fall on Weekend/ Government has to arrange special Transportation service (not free).</description>

		<description>Sir,

"33% Women Quota in Parliament and state assembly"

Post independence it will be most unwanted bill passed by our leaders. Already country reeling under so many quotas, was there a need for one more quotas in the form of women quota in parliament? It seems only NGO's and Human right activist, media persons are sympathetic toward this bill but professionally employed citizens completely rejects and unwelcome this bill.

I saw debate congress leader Mrs. Renuka Chaudhary defending bahu-behti's entry into politics, she was just arguing that what is wrong in that if they come into politics?
 
I heard from someone in Chennai that Mrs. Jaynathi Natrajan has her own engineering college, so what she wants to open one more college providing 33% quota?

At least have proper debate on this concept of rotating the constituency in every 15 years. I had a very hope from Mr. Jaitely but it seems BJP did not want to repeat N-deal embarrassment in parliament so BJP allowed it pass.</description>
