Indian Citizen – Are You Questioning Your Representative?

India, right now, is in the midst of elections hungama. Eligible
candidates have already thrown their hats in the ring and have already
started vying against their opponents. Indian citizens are also
watching the elections excitement closely. 2009 elections are crucial
for India. And there are so many reasons to say so.

The first reason is that the world economy is down due to recession
and this has already created a major impact on Indian exports forcing
companies to close down their operations and lay off their loyal
employees, who had worked for the company so long. The second reason
is in the last 4 years, prices of goods have almost doubled forcing
people who do not have substantial income to go to bed without dinner.
The third reason is the infrastructure of India, whether it is power,
roads, etc, has not been developed with respect to the rate of the
population growth. The fourth reason is the protectionist measures
being implemented by developed countries like America to protect their
own job losses. Because of this Indian IT industry is on the shaking
ground now. The fifth reason is terrorism. Today, the neighboring
countries of India are fighting daily with the extremist elements on a
daily basis. The Maoist terror in Nepal, the LTTE extremities in Sri
Lanka, the Taliban leeway in Pakistan and Afghanistan and the recent
26/11 attacks on India are the symptoms of coming terror days. Like
this, one can enumerate so many crucial hot reasons, which force every
Indian citizen to sit and notice. Now, the point is does the
politicians who are contesting by making so many popular promises can
take care of all these things or look after his/her own concerns and
bag a few billions by indulging in corrupt practices as they did
previously?

This article wants to ask every Indian to think about their respective
representative's previous poll promises and how far they were
fulfilled by the concerned person. If not, why? India is not the same
country as it was in post-Independence era now. The whole world is
developing at a rapid pace. If India won't develop, then she will lose
the race. Not only that she may lose to take advantages of things
happening in and around the world at a rapid pace but also the job
opportunities, which have direct impact on daily lives of this huge
population.

The development of India starts from your bloc. If every Indian
citizen starts questioning the accountability of their concerned
representatives, then within no time, India will have better
representatives serving every nook and corner of the country.

Remember one thing: The dearest friends of Development are
Accountability and Responsibility and wherever there is no
Accountability, there won't be any Development.
