Mysuru: Today most voters cast their ballot based either on party platform or such divisive factors of caste, religion and community. All voters — literate or illiterate, poor or rich, young or old — want to bring about changes in the way voting takes place in India.
In a functioning democracy, voters should vote based on the ability and honesty of candidates and not simply be swayed by their party platforms. Only then the political parties will be forced to select the most deserving candidates.
