Kisko doon, vote kisko doon?????

It is election time and i have to make up my mind whom to vote ( or whom not to vote). So many conflicting thoughts pass through my mind that i thought it is best put them down in one place, and, which better place than my blog. Let me first take up the Parliament.

Parliament:

1) Congress / UPA :

Reasons for not voting for them--------

• They don't hang Afzal Guru who is sentenced to death by the Supreme court for attacking Parliament, a symbol of our democracy
• They are largely responsible for the monumental corruption in the country.
• Their concept of secularism is hurting the country more and dividing it forever on religious lines
  
• They have made this country a soft state and a fair game for every terrorist across the border as can be seen from the number of attacks and lives lost in the past few years. Shivraj Patil, undoubtedly, the worst Home Minister, india ever had.
  
• They have failed to take any deterrent action after 24/11 against pakistan despite irrefutable proof of pak's involvement.
• They perpetuate dynastic rule, the congress party is forever the personal property of Nehru/ Gandhi family.
• Their Inflation computation is ridiculous and irrelevant when you consider that 'aam admi' are concerned about the high cost of foodstuff and essentials.
• They always talk of law taking it's own course, but, seldom allow it to do so.

2) Third Front :
Reasons for not voting for them

• They have a single point agenda-- to be a king or kingmaker.
• There are as many aspirants to the throne as there are parties.
• If voted to power they will do much more damage to the country than any other combination, either by action or by inaction.
• They will make country bankrupt (remember Chandrasekhar selling family gold)

3) BJP / NDA :

Negatives :

• The Hidutva brigade is a cause for concern.
  
• Their handling of Kandahar was bad. Parliament was attacked when Advani was the home minister.
• The Gujarat holocaust is a big blot on india.

Positives :

• Promised to bring back POTA
• there has been communal peace in Gujarat since then along with spectacular economic development.
  
• Hidutva forces will be balanced, hopefully, by other constituents of NDA.
• Nitish Kumar did a much better job in Bihar than lalu/Rabri
• can be expected to be more firm on terrorism and dealings with Pak.
• On economy, can't do anything worse than congress.
• Undoubtedly much less corrupt than congress.

So, for the Parliament, i will vote for BJP / NDA
