Editor,<\/strong><\/p>\n For the first time, I exercised my adult franchise for the general and the Lok Sabha elections, 2024. As it was my first time casting my vote on attaining the age of 18 years, I was very excited and discussed with co-voters the matter of voting and its importance.<\/p>\n There were mixed reactions on the selection of a leader. Many of them opined that a good leader with progressive ideas is very important for a developed and peaceful society. Some opined that a leader without money cannot win the election though he\/she may be a good leader. Some opined that ruling ticket is very important for winning an election. Under such situations, being a first-time voter, I was stuck with confusion as to whom to vote for.<\/p>\n It was also observed that many of them were discussing the negative side of politics more, like casting vote for money, for religion, and on the basis of clans – even casting votes for the people who are no more in the constituency concerned. The discussions on the positive side were lesser, and under such circumstances, I felt that there was a great responsibility on the young voters to create awareness among the people on the positive side of the political system.<\/p>\n As we are going to elect our leaders who will guide and lead us for the coming five years, we have to cast our votes meticulously and see the qualities of a leader instead of judging him\/her on the basis of money power, caste, religion and clan. We have to judge and cast our votes for a person who can lead us in the right direction and create a congenial atmosphere where everybody lives a happy and peaceful life. We have to cast our votes for a person who is really a leader by heart, not by mind, as a good leader will always bring development, peace and prosperity to the society, state and the nation.<\/p>\n So, finally, after deeply judging the qualities of the leaders who were in the race, I cast my vote in favour of the best among them.<\/p>\n Topi Ete,<\/strong><\/p>\n Bharati Women College,<\/strong><\/p>\n Delhi University<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Editor, For the first time, I exercised my adult franchise for the general and the Lok Sabha elections, 2024.
