True representatives

The real work will begin post election.

Soon the elections are going to be over. Country will get a new government and we hope it will work for betterment of nation. People's representatives who will be elected will work be in government or as opposition. People of India too must forget party loyalty and work collectively towards nation building.

But to raise the bar now onwards we must have more dynamic democracy. We should not leave everything to government. And the role of losing candidates will be very crucial.

Losing candidates also got big or small number of votes. And every vote is a positive vote. It is a vote by a citizen of India in good hope and faith that the particular person will do something positive for the people, constituency and nation. Infact these candidates should not be called losing candidates. They all got votes of citizens of India so no one actually lost. Some elected to constitutional house and others too must work on ground.

After election these candidates must start the actual work in their constituency. They should work in coordination with people, organizations, RWA's, Panchayats and so on. They must continue to fight for development, basic amenities, harmony in constituency, supporting people's concerns and voice, fighting corruption and crimes.They can prove their worth even without wining the election.

If these candidates work sincerely, in next election people will have clear idea who has worked better - an elected representative or who actually worked on ground. It is shameful to see people's representatives spending huge amount of money, playing tricks and begging for votes. They should get votes because of their profile, sincerity, ability, commitment and actual work on ground.

Let all representatives work for people, both in constitutional house and on ground. This will be the real democracy.  This will ensure that people have better life and nation becomes a better place.
