We should think of our priorities before casting vote this time. Our vote should be cast keeping in the mind the welfare of society and nation. Be it any election, the vote should be given on the basis of development.

Congress ruled the nation for almost 55 years. Saying that it didn’t do any work of development would be wrong. But the party couldn’t live up to the public’s expectations.

And this led to the era of BJP. Indian public gave two chances to BJP but it failed to move beyond Pakistan, the mandir-masjid debate, Kashmir, Article 370, etc, and address the more urgent problems like employment, education, poverty, etc. And now at the time of elections, the public is being misled on the name of nationalism and patriotism.

If we compare the development done by the two parties, the industrialization was brought in the country by Congress. Green revolution too, is the contribution of Congress. Even India was made a nuclear power by none other than Congress. Congress was the one which made the Indian economy world’s biggest economy and constructed the scientific centers like ISRO and DRDO. It constructed the big schools, colleges, universities, and other educational institutions in the country. From irrigation projects to great dams, to the hospitals like AIIMS, all is there in the country due to Congress.

Before Congress, 95% of the Indian population was below the poverty line. It reduced to 35% until 2014. The party also established railway network throughout the country. It constructed metro and monorail. It made banking services widespread and took it in villages as well.

BJP also worked towards the betterment of transportation in the country. Converted the four-lane roads into six-lane. Constructed toilets and helped the poor open bank accounts. Ayushman Bharat, Mudra Yojana, Kaushal Vikas Yojana, were introduced by BJP but their execution remained poor throughout BJP’s tenure. Indian economy also shook terribly during BJP rule. BJP also failed to deliver on its promises of employment. In these elections, BJP is not in the condition to even mention the promises on the basis of which it won votes last time.

I think you are clear who deserves our vote.
