5 reasons why you shouldn't vote NDA

During the last few years, India has time and again been jolted awake by rude shocks. Now and then, huge scams have been un-earthed. The United Progressive Alliance(UPA) in adherence to their name, have proved to be progressive... atleast in the domain of "Corruption". It has already been labelled the most corrupt government in History.

When a scam is uncovered, We the people of India... can do nothing but, look helplessly, at TV screen flashing these breaking news. Underneath we are all seething with anger..

and when, elections come, it is our time to vent our anger...

So you too have been furious over the Congress/UPA ? What would you do in elections.. This time Vote NDA?

Here are reasons why you shouldn't vote the BJP or NDA..

Ramblings of an Unhappy Consumer

While various organisations have repeatedly stressed on Consumer rights, no-one has ever taken effective steps to protect and enforce consumer rights! We the people of India, fight with vendors, threatening to report to Consumer Forum.. but we seldon do that.

A very famous adage says, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me".
The emerging enterprise centric India is seeing an extension to this saying ..

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.  

  Fool me again : You're welcome, I am a consumer in India".

Consumerism in India 

Well, Honestly.. In India, It doesn't feel great to be a consumer.
Old customs and kind gestures of enterprises that used to go an extra mile to please and engage customers... is sadly, only a figment of history.

Whatever happened to the people who used to say, "The customer is always right". ?
Today, being a customer is like being an oxen tied to the ploughs of a field.

The Concept of Customer Satisfaction is history

And customer experience? what does that mean...
to pay on time and not get services on time, to wait incessantly,
to keep correcting the enterprise's mistakes..
to boil your blood over frustration... and to keep explaining problems that customer-care executives never understand..

What I have said, might be a matter of strong disapproval for many   "happy consumers of India", but please excuse me, I am a consumer who already has had her hefty share of bitter experiences.

The biggest irony of Consumerism in India is that, while nothing can ensure the QoS (Quality of Services) provided by various enterprises, there are a lot of terms and conditions with an added * which ensure customer loyalty and servility.

If you look closely to the Indian consumer-provider relationship, it will be difficult to understand who is servicing whom..?

Ok.. I am eager to spill my venom.:-) Let's start from the telecom sector.

To vote or not to vote.. that is the question

I am not surprised, when I find forums on the Facebook and other places discussing about the ARTICLE 49-O. What surprises me is the fact that most of the so-called "TRUTH" discussed there is utterly wrong.

There would be instances, when you do not want to vote either of the candidates. read this post on for reasons 

Whoever is aware of ARTICLE 49-O has some misconceptions, which is picked up from internet and spam mails like this:

"ARE YOU AWARE OF YOUR RIGHTS?You can refuse to VOTE if you like none of the electoral candidates. This is article 49-o of Constitution
if a candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has received "49-O" votes more than 123, then that polling will be cancelled and will have to be re-polled. 
Not only that, but the candidature of all the contestants will be removed and they cannot contest in the re-polling.  
SPREAD THE WORD. POPULARISE THIS. LET EVERY INDIAN COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE POWER GIVEN TO HIM BY THE CONSTITUTION "

If you have also once forwarded this, and have been taking pride in your act of patriotism, then I am sorry to say,but you have only led some people into further dis-illusion.
