While not sure about every aspect, still felt this is something we should rethink about. The thing is, we do know all this but what actually prevents us from doing what is right?
 | PAMPER DYNASTIES Blinded by powerful families, we vote for them continually though our conscience must say no. |
 | |
 | DON’T REWARD FIGHTERS The CPI(ML) has been seeking a clean Bihar for years. They don’t get more than a handful of seats. |
| |
 | IGNORE WORTHY NOMINEES Manmohan Singh lost by 29,999 votes in the 1999 South Delhi Lok Sabha election. Hasn’t contested since. |
| |
 | DON’T CHANGE VOTING HABITS Grandfathers voted for Indira. We vote for Sonia and Rahul. The world has changed in between. |
| |
 | GIVE UNDUE CREDIT The Congress didn’t do CNG in Delhi. The Supreme Court did. |
| |
 | DON’T STAND AS ONE Thirty-seven parties in the Lok Sabha and 29 in the Rajya Sabha. Can get crazy, like in Jharkhand. |
| |
 | ARE LETHARGIC Can’t step out, for causes or for voting. So, we minimise who we are. |
| |
 | DON’T THINK The BJP in Gujarat after 2002. The Left for 33 years in West Bengal. Chamling since 1994 in Sikkim. |
| |
 | CHOOSE PERSONALITIES, NOT POLICIES Amitabh. Dharmendra. Azharuddin. Jayaprada. Not liberalisation, Article 370, RTI, women’s reservation. |
| |
 | ACCEPT BRIBES Liquor. Money. Land. Jobs. And sundry other favours. We are fine with it. They are fine with it. |
