In a country like India, where diversity thrives and voices echo from various corners, the act of voting holds immense significance. It not only shapes the course of governance but also serves as a powerful tool for societal change and progress.
Your right to question politicians or the government is tied to your responsibility to vote. If you abstain from voting, you forfeit the opportunity to influence change and, consequently, weaken your grounds for demanding accountability from elected officials.
