In Arunachal Pradesh everyone is corrupted, everyone is running after money. So I must take the opportunity.<br \/>\n5. It&#8217;s my own right &amp; duty. How can I sell my vote for cash or kind? It&#8217;s the only time to change corrupt leaders and bring about good leaders for good governance and development.<br \/>\n6. I totally believe in democracy, that&#8217;s why I totally ignored the suggestion of my parents and elders regarding who I should vote for. I really want to change the leader because good leadership means good government .<br \/>\n7. Though I received money from the political party from all corrupted leaders as recovery of citizen&#8217;s welfare fund, but voted for a candidate of my own choice.<br \/>\n8. Since 2009 I was able to exercise my adult franchise, since then I have never sold my valuable vote. I have also voted for the greater\/progressive nation and state.<br \/>\n9. Do you have the right to ask this question so blatantly?<br \/>\n10. Never sell my vote. I must want to choose a right person for my area.<br \/>\n11. I am an educated person. I will never sell my vote. I would rather provide money for a candidate running for the election.<br \/>\n12. My integrity has not permitted to do so. But in my first experience, I was shocked to know that the citizens of our state have sold their rights and consciousness for a few thousands. As many say, &#8220;election is the march ending for the general voters&#8221;.<br \/>\n13. Casting of vote is the beginning of democracy. If I sell my vote, murder of democracy in the beginning itself.<br \/>\n14. Election is not about earning profit, it&#8217;s about choosing the right one.<br \/>\n15. I sold my vote for all round development, for our constituency, our state, our nation. Yes, I sold my vote for development!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments from readers: &#8211; 1. I&#8217;m not for sale. 2.
