And changes take place routinely almost daily. With so many imperfections in our electoral list, we boost to the world that we are the greatest democracy in the world and we had carried out a monumental election so successfully.
I would personally recommend that we go in for an all purpose electronic smart card which may contain all our personal information other than our residential address and which record details of our participation in various elections and we should be permitted to vote from any place in India and in any consistency .The central government said in 2010 that they are preparing an unique identity card for every individual where is it.?will it take twenty years to complete and provide it to evry individual.
The country desperately needs some young leaders who personify energy, enthusiasm, morality, and diligence. No doubt we have progressed a...
