congrats 4 casting ur first vote…………
couldnt cast my vote this time due to some reasons ……………. will surely cast my vote next time……… agree with u that definitely vote should go 4 personality of the candidate . but political parties do matter as after all they r the once that are coming into rule. I do agree with u about the statement u made about the existence of coalition governments ………… but thats what will be the outcome of this election ……. i am making the statement in the scenario that many new groups are arising inside the parties which eventually lead to formation of new parties

Thanks Nita. True it’s always an individual decision but we have very limited number of choices

Hey Nikhil, congrats on your first vote. Ofcourse you are right, it’s always best to vote, even if it means making some choice instead of no choice. But let me tell you something about the no-vote option if one wants to exercise it. It helps to prevent bogus voting.
But coming to candidate vs party, it is an individual decision. I personally root for a candidate but at the same time I agree that if one is against the party he is standing for, then it’s best to avoid that person. Usually it is a tough decision and every voter has to make this tough call.
