		<description>Yes, that&#039;s a matter under discussion, and that will really take a long time to actually become possible, because after that it follows a bill to be passed in parliament, which this current politicians will try their best unanimously not to pass. But time is the one thing, they cannot deny. </description>

I agree. The power to cast a negative vote &lt;em&gt;anonymously&lt;/em&gt; will be very good. Currently the matter is under discussion at the Supreme Court I believe. </description>

		<description>Hi, 
I understand your as well as other people&#039;s problem for choosing not to vote because we all are thinking whom to vote for. You might have to think whom to vote against. 
There is very logical and simple, these netas doesn&#039;t want the common educated public to vote because we can change the mandate, that&#039;s why you still face problems in inclusion of name in ERO, voting, choosing the right candidate. They want that only uneducated, unemployed people vote for them , and in return they will get blanket or sari or meal or a desi-alcohal. 
What we need to do now, the real urgency is to actually vote against all those candidates and parties, it might happen in the process that a wrong candidate or party got majority, but you again have a right to vote against those wrong after 5 years. The result of all these is that &quot;we-the common man&quot; can create a fear among all the politician that if they are not able to fulfill the promises, they will be thrown out of power. If we are able to create a atmosphere where these politician feel that they are no more than servants for indian citizens, they have a fear in mind that these janata can do anything if their welfare is not being taken care of, one day we will win, and if not you then your coming generations will be benefited by this. 
Hope you got my point. </description>
