Think before falling for those freebies

Everything you dream or freedom we bitterly fought for will evaporate in no time and make you a pauper or refugee in your own land if your leaders sell you with impunity, look after themselves and finally run away!

Therefore please think before believing the false promises about unsustainable development, or emotional stirrings on religion, caste, national security, freebies offered with money siphoned by various means from government coffers and your piggy bank, before voting! 

Be willing to think in your and public interest before voting as demanded/fixed by politicians and vested interests. Your country is your family, friends, community (common unity). 

Work to build a community of love (common unity) that will make a great happy nation! Government and institutions that will care for, protect you, ensure justice equally for all and educate your children to be good citizens. 

Figuratively, forcing a river to suddenly change course with "development" that creates imbalance, pollution, climate change, digital and financial disparities etc forcing nature to strike back with devastating consequences is what we have been voting for!
