Go vote and here is why you must vote

India and its 70 crore voters are on the cusp of a historic "Make or break" situation. For the first time in its 60 years of independence, the percentage of working population is higher than the dependents. That means India is relatively young nation with median age of 24 compared to China's 32. But here lies in the problem. Young country means lots of younsters in the age gap of 21-25 and in turn we need to produce lots of jobs for them such that they are able to take care of atleast 2 dependents(generally mother,father).
So, the next step to produce jobs is to have a stable economy growing atleast at the range of 8-9% every year. Fortunately, we were growing at this range untill this recent economic depression. Many believe India's growth story is fuelled only by its services sector alone like IT and software services, which is quiet true at this point.
We have an enormous untapped resources in infrastruture sector like building roads, railways, airports and ports. If these were done, it will only fuel our own economy and at the end of it people will only be the beneficiary.
For this to happen, we need to have the best possible government at the centre atleast. We the people must ensure that the deserving candidates are standing for elections atleast from their respective constituency. If not, vote for the deserving ones alone.
A good government will decide the fate of our country. If we miss this oppurtunity, then the unemployment will much higher that the whole country will get down into shambles. People with illegal activities will increase and this only leads them to get involved in terrorism.
So go vote this time because there is no second chance for us this time.....
