For the ones’ fed-up with the political parties and their relentless bogus propaganda, a safe and logical option that crops into the mind is an allowance to cast ‘No-Vote’.
The same option also helps one to avoid being party to a ridiculous affair called ‘False Voting’ where someone else candidly votes in your name. And effortlessly ruin your chance and right to elect your representative. The process, needless to say, generates little confidence in the mind of voters to follow the democratic process, and hence the chosen ones, as obviously, are not always the ones most suitable for the post.
Talking about bogus voting, an estimated account of 40 per cent errors are noticed in electoral polls in many urban areas, and bogus voting in towns exceeds 20 per cent. The modus operandi of bogus voting includes purchase of votes through money and liquor, preventing poorer sections from voting, large scale impersonation, purchase of agents of opponents, threatening and forcing agents and polling personnel to allow false voting, booth-capturing, bribing polling staff and police personnel etc… and many more. However, for the practitioners of the ‘might is right policy’, this solemn act of mocking hapless democratic sovereignty does little favour for a vast country like ours. Where electoral landscape comprises remote areas of forgotten lands prone to encroaching and infiltration.
Leave alone interior areas, considering the situation that just about 60% of Indians vote (Indian election stats), surreptitious acts of false voting do not spare urban areas too. So to be true, let the reason be any thing, taking chance of our gradual loss of faith in voting process, beneficiary stands out to be the one un-wanted by the most.
So why to let these unscrupulous individuals count profit? During voting, one who is sure to stop any political candidate’s progression should caste ‘No-vote’...provided he or she is allowed to entertain the same option through voting machine.
Consequently, that little blue dot on ones’ finger would carry a true message, than being a warning sign of an unknown power hungry idiot gaining entry to political hierarchy through raping democracy.

Good work dear.. need to put links to the sites of election stats and (if possible) other facts described.
Kudos to you for writing on a topic that people have till now only discussed numerous times.
The 'no-vote' suggestion is a great one too...as you mentioned why let the dirt bags count profit just because we have no other option to choose from.
