10. Impacts of not voting  Only 7 to 10% of the General Public Vote decide the fate of the State and Country.  There is no minimum number of votes or percentage of electors required such as quorum.  No quorum and less participation leaves political parties rely on current vote bank.  The political parties are forced to draw plans and schemes to attract the current vote bank. The political parties will never plan or think of schemes for non-vote bank public.  Newly Emerging parties also not focusing on Non-Voting Public and fall in the trap of current vote bank. They fail to visualise out of the box possibilities.  As the New Political parties also follow the same suite they lose the confidence of general public as well.  The Quality of the Vote Bank is the Primary Key and everything else is the outcome from this.

11. Political Party’s Strategy in India Vote Bank Politics – Strategies 1. Party Votes – The Core Strength 2. Cash Votes - (Money/Liquor/Biriyani) 3. Fake Votes (Illegal Bulk Votes) 4. Prey Votes(Falling for Free Schemes/Cleb Campaign) 5. Groupism (Caste/Religion/Region/Sangam Votes) 6. Negative Votes (Disappointed by Current Govt.) 7. Seat Allocation Base Alliance That’s Not all ………

12. Political Strategy of India The previous list of items is part of visible strategy. The Big and Most Important Strategy is: Denying 60% of General Public Vote by… Eliminating Enrolment from Electors’ List Not Providing Good system for Casting Votes De-motivating From Casting Votes Provoking anger towards Politics and Politicians Keeping away from the whole Political System

Happy With My Life. 3.Good Candidates Do Not Contest, Whom to Vote? 4.Holiday Outing / Not Willing To Wait In Queues. 5.I Don’t Have Voter ID at all. 6.Why Should I vote for someone to earn money? 7.Fear to go to Polling Booth (Violent Incidents). 8.My Single Vote Can Not Make Difference (62%) 9.I have ID But, I have shifted current residence 10.Emergency Work / Not In Town / Out of Country

14. Vicious Circle of Politics

15. If we break the vicious circle we can surely bring change and reformation in Indian Politics, By Encouraging Everyone to Vote to ensure full participation of large volume of the citizens. By providing a clean electoral system via Electronic Voting System using Intranet and Internet. The Existing Political Parties will be forced to bring-in Qualified Candidates By nabeling emergence of New Generation Politicians who are not exposed to the traditional political system.
