Keep the faith
Governments have come and gone. Elections in Karnataka almost feel like a soap opera. There is no stability, and Karnataka seems to have failed in governance and delivering to the people. So have people lost faith in the process or do they still believe in the power of their vote?
The people we spoke to were optimistic. They believe that the Voter ID and the act of voting makes a difference. They feel that it is necessary. As citizens who want to see change, the vote is the key. They feel it is important to put all prejudices and cynicism in back burner and vote. For, now will be the time of testing and evaluation, and people have no time to wait for another five years.
In the past, there have been poor voter turnouts, so they stress that to make a change, people will need to make that effort to go to the polling booth and vote for their choice. In a time of river disputes, poor infrastructure, corruption and religious intolerance, these elections will tell us whether the citizens of Karnataka want change or don’t.
There have been political clashes and loss of ideologies, but a few people still feel that the vote will bring back democracy and a stable government for once.
As citizens of the country, it is our duty and personal right to vote. We must not lose interest in politics just because there has been a clash of political parties. We have to vote the government we want to power and then evaluate their performance.

It is our basic right to vote. Elections are also a time when we judge whether the leader delivers on his promise during his tenure. There have been no stable governments, and we have to vote to bring the stability back. It is a time to analyse their manifesto.

There have been many changes in governments. But that does not mean we lose faith in elections . It is up to us to vote for change. Voting is also a tool for assessment and evaluation. So, during the course of five years, we can vote the government back to power.

It makes a world of difference if everybody votes. It is necessary to see what leader makes a good leader. The State has seen so many governments coming and going, so the time has come where we all have to vote a stable government into power.
