3. Who votes in India?Who votes in India?
Urban India is growing apathetic to elections !!
4. Why voting in upcoming election
matters!
• No Jobs – only 2 million/year jobs created in last 9 yrs versus 12 million/year in
‘99-04 period
• High corruption – 2G, CWG, VadraGate , CoalGate, Adarsh, RailGate..list is
endless!
• Terror attacks continue – masterminds of 26/11 sit safely in Pakistan!
• Weak foreign policy – Pak provokes, China intrudes, Lanka & Nepal snub, the I in
BRIC is now Indonesia!
• Rising prices – Oil, grains, onion – Common man’s life is miserable !
• No disaster management – Kedarnath mishap was the worst India witnessed.
• Crumbling infrastructure – only 1600 km/year national highway added v/s 4763
km/year by NDA govt. Power generation projects delayed.
Message is clear :
India needs a change - a better Government this time !
Ensure you are registered to vote , next general elections could happen soon!
5. Why vote - mujhe kya?
What’s in it for me.
• Below 30 yrs : Shape the India of your dreams – a developed, secure
nation which commands respect in the world. (65 % of our
population is below 35!!)
• Age 30-50 : It’s all about the economy! Hand-outs alone won’t solve
anything, but growth which creates jobs, will.
• Above 50 : You have seen it all - pro-poor & secularist rhetoric is the
last refuge of crooks! Time to bequeath a better legacy to the next
generation.
50% of youth in 18-24 age bracket are NOT registered to vote!
7. Why should
women vote
Women can influence their
family members and house
maids to vote for the right
party.
Women can drive the
change for a clean and
transparent politics.
