Another election, another 55% to 60% turnout, another Government, another bogus voting, another false promises, another withdrawal of cases, another fresh enquirers, etc etc etc...
But
the politicians seems to be the same.
How come this is possible for them to keep on to their positions in spite of not doing anything to the people. I do agree that every party has some percentage of support. But that always seems to be very even among all parties.
55% of people verdict has been imposed on 100% of population. I am on the firm opinion that its not always possible to attain 100% turnout. And adding to that there was a supreme court verdict that its not possible to make voting as compulsory. But how come we will make these 45% to vote?. Believe me in every street, every tea shop, every office these 45% people are the one who make so much noise about poor electricity, poor road and governance.
I think instead of making it compulsory, we can punish them in other ways, so that they will vote. Most of these are seems to be impossible. But when we started doing these, and if election commission and the government does impose these I am sure we ll see a more than 80% of voters turnaround in every elections.
My suggestions for those people who doesnt vote,
1. Make tax payment at 15% to 20% higher than the normal tax rate for those who voted. Or create an additional cess and spend it for development.
2. Anyone seeking admission for their children should be given least priority, even in private institutions. Free seats and scholarships should not be given to them.
3. People in business should pay more tax if more than 75% of their employees doesnt turn up for voting. (Yeah, agreed that this is very much unlikely, but you cant say its impossible)
4. They should be charged higher rates for any Government related service.
For achieving these, they need to mordanize the election process as well.
a) Instead of giving Voters ID should take finger prints of people. Voting should be done only based on that.
b) A portable scanning machine can be used while taking census. This will actually give an accurate picture of the population and where the government needs to focus etc.
c) Make a way for reversing their votes if some one is not doing a good job. That will keep the netas in check.
d) Finally the Election Commission and the other Government institution responsible for this should be independent of government and even president. Since we know who is our President is.
I am not sure how much these ideas can be implemented, but something needs to be done on these lines. :)

Reason behind these...
This is another example for my laziness. I ve written this last week and posting it now. :)
Today there was a news on naxls captured a train and hold some 700 to 800 people as hostages. Thank god that nothing had happened till now and all passengers are safe. But one need to ask a question why these things are happening only in eastern region. As far as i think the following are the reason.
People
You cannot say that education will completely eradicate the them. Since more and more educated joining them clearly indicates that thats not the only cause. The general mood of the people not only there, but for the entire nation should change.
A simple example is, there was such a hue and cry fir 26/11 attacks and for blasts in delhi. But no one seems to be bothered when the brothers from east lost their lives on the same issue. Their life is not that important to be in headlines. :( And we also tend to forgot those incidents in a day or two.
Government
One of the bajor reason for this. Simple reason being there were not too many MP seats from them. Period.
Development
This because of both local and the central government. I do agree that you cannot turn a gowhati into Mumbai or Bangalore. But atleast make sure these develop on par with Coiambatore or Pune.
Foreign Elements
Since these so called maoists exists near our long standing friend China, foreign hands in providing money and materials cannot be ruled out and India should definitely look into that as well. I am sure there were many people in our government working on this, but thats my thought, :)
Local Support
Any local organisation cannot prosper without local support. Whether that support is gained by force or by money, that needs to be stopped. Ours is the only country where we will make a criminal like Veerappan a hero and start a TV serial in his name. I seriously think they should be booked under NSA rather than others.
