Mumbai had abysmal voting percentages for the Lok Sabha elections this year. Cheers to that. Can Maharashtra rise above the stupid argument of ‘your vote counts’ and make history by not turning up to vote at all for the assembly elections. Can we all get together and make October 13 look like some Shiv Sena bandh. Every road empty and every house echoing with the good times of a well-deserved holiday.
Let us make October 13 a red-letter day by simply sleeping the day off if we have nothing better to do.
Think about it. Are we idiots to vote for sons, wives, daughters and brothers and uncles of politicians? Are we donkeys to believe that our MLA can change anything apart from the size of his bank balance?
Are we fools to think that this is democracy? Are we blockheads to go and stand in the sun to vote and provide the shade of luxuries to SSC-fail crorepatis?
Are we so shameless as to be herded in lines by cops to vote for parties who couldn’t care a rat piss about us?
Let us show the country, the world and every place that thinks this is democracy that the people of Maharashtra have more brains than anyone ever acknowledged.
Let us get every leader worth his salt thinking? Let us start the world’s most silent revolution by not turning up at the box office of politics to stamp the tickets of someone else’s – and thoroughly undeserving- ride to fame and riches.
Please don’t go out and vote.
