The forthcoming polling day is not a holiday to enjoy. Go out and cast your vote as a responsible citizen for the betterment of life around you. This has been the message given by hundreds of volunteers, business leaders, professionals and scores of citizens from other walks of life including students, youth, and senior citizens of twin cities of Hyderabad & Secunderabad who marched through Peoples' Plaza on Necklace Road [TankBund] in Hyderabad holding placards and balloons calling upon citizens to use their right to franchise. This 5 km walk was organized by “Let’s Vote” - a non profit organization that promotes societal development and positive nation building through sensitizing everyone to cast their vote. Mahatma Gandhi said: "Voting is not just your right, it is your duty". All of us also know “Vote” is a promise, a vow and a commitment to act as responsible citizens for the betterment of life around us. Voting is an important act of citizenship. ‘Let’s Vote’ is a campaign dedicated to raising awareness about this commitment. To spread the awareness about this vital national duty of every citizen who is eligible to vote, the “Let's Vote” campaign aims to reach out to the citizens of the society and bring about a paradigm shift in their attitude towards voting.
At around 9-30 am I met my friend Rtn Prabhakar & his band
of colleagues at a breakfast meeting who participated in this Let's Vote walk. They clarified that the campaign had nothing to do with any political party and only aimed at creating awareness on the need to exercise franchise, motivate them to take active part in the voting process for the betterment of life around us. Mr. Trikiran & Mr. Anil who were in campaign T shirt sporting with a badge and a pledge card in hand shared their experiences and later sent me photos [one snap included in this blog]. Though I could not attend this walk, I browsed the Let's Vote website and its features. What impressed me is that the Let's Vote campaign includes online pledge which I have also taken at http://www.letsvote.in
The campaign with this walk would have certainly set a goal to increase the voters and raised awareness among citizens to motivate them to be an active part of the voting process. Let’s spread this message, Let's Vote! Let’s walk towards a better future!
