The quality of public representatives will improve only when there is 100 percent voting.

Today, India is emerging as an important economic power on the global stage and has also become in a position to provide leadership to the world in many fields. Some countries (including China and Pakistan) are not able to tolerate this achievement of India. All the disruptive forces at the global level together want to break India. Efforts are also being made by these disruptive forces to create caste conflict in India. Whereas many cultural, religious and spiritual organizations of India want to maintain unity in the entire Indian society so that India can once again be made a world leader. But, today Hindutva, Bharat and Sangh have become the target of disruptive forces.

Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has developed a sense of nationalism among its volunteers. The volunteers of the Sangh, along with the gentle power of the society, are trying to bring awareness in the society as to how these disruptive forces can be defeated. Election period is going to start soon in India. To make Indian democracy stronger, today the nation is in great need of citizens who have a sense of devotion towards Mother India. Therefore, 100 percent voting should be done in the elections by the Indian society and only the candidates imbued with national spirit should win the elections. For this, special efforts should be made by the Indian citizens along with the society. In this context, various efforts are also made by the Election Commission of India from time to time so that 100 percent voting can be achieved by the citizens of the country. Certainly, a representative elected by 90 or 100 percent citizens will prove to be a better representative than a representative elected by 50 percent citizens. Therefore, maximum voting is the need of the hour today. This will not only improve the quality of the elected representatives but will also enable India’s economic progress to continue in the present time and we will be able to see India being established as a world leader.

Many times, some voters do not like all the candidates of different parties, in such circumstances such voters have the right to press the NOTA button. But it is not possible for any candidate to be 100 percent genuine in the eyes of the voters. Under these circumstances at least a bad candidate can be elected. By pressing the NOTA button, a more bad candidate can be elected instead of a less bad candidate. The most revered Sir Sanghchalak of the Sangh also says that “In NOTA, we leave aside even the best and the worst candidates take advantage of it. What should happen is that we choose the best that is available to us. It is very difficult to get 100 percent people right in a democracy.” This assessment can be said to be completely correct because even if the voter thinks that by pressing NOTA, he has rejected all the candidates, but perhaps he does not know that it can lead to the defeat of a candidate by a small margin. Be the best of them all. In such a situation, if the votes cast for NOTA had gone to the losing candidate, he could have won. If due to this a bad candidate wins then there is no point in pressing NOTA.

Thousands of crores of rupees are spent on elections in India. Therefore, it is very important to elect strong governments at the Center and in the states, so that they can successfully complete their 5-year tenure. If any government is elected with 100 percent voting, then it will definitely be a strong government and it will also be successful in completing its tenure and thus there will be no need for mid-term elections. In this way, the country’s expenditure worth crores of rupees will be saved. Therefore, the educated and intelligent class in India today should also come forward and make efforts for 100 percent voting, because the way India is progressing in various fields today, this work should continue for a long time. Due to the feeling of patriotism among the citizens of Israel, more than 3 lakh citizens have come forward and accepted the government’s proposal to join the army. Even in India, the representatives of the country should have a sense of dedication towards the nation.

It is only because of the unity of the Indian society that the demolition of Ram Sethu has been stopped in India today, Section 370 and Section 35A applicable in Jammu and Kashmir have been removed, after a long struggle of 500 years, a grand temple of Shri Ram is being built in Ayodhya. Which is going to be inaugurated on 22 January 2024 by the lotus feet of the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi along with the revered Saints and Mahatmas. Today, India holds the presidency of the G-20 group of countries and India has been successful in keeping all the countries of this group united. India has succeeded in successfully landing Chandrayaan on the southern part of the Moon and has also succeeded in imprinting “Shiv Shakti” on the surface of the Moon. Today India is succeeding in protecting its borders strongly. New flags are being set every day in the field of sports, India has created a record by winning 107 medals in the recent Asian Games competitions held in China.

Similarly, today citizens have got good roads, availability of water and electricity has increased, the journey of development is progressing rapidly in the states. State elections are also considered very important because Rajya Sabha members are elected by the state MLAs. From this point of view, 100 percent voting should be ensured in the elections of various states.
