Vote for change

Day in, day out we see him screaming lies and untruths from various forums; they are in turn amplified by a pliant media to influence gullible voters to vote for a certain party.

All democratic processes and institutions have been undermined by him; the last remaining bastion of democracy, the judiciary, is also wilting under the onslaught of his utterances and double speak. India is amongst the lowest placed countries in all human development indices, free speech indices, infant malnutrition indices, happiness indices etc. As Abraham Lincoln said, you can fool all of the people some of the time, some of the people all the time but you cannot fool all the people all the time. India is at a tipping point and we, the aam admi, will no longer be fooled by lies, deceit and propaganda any longer. Vote for change, vote for a brighter future, vote for India.
