General election is fast approaching, and political parties are busy breaking or forming alliances. We have two seasoned politicians as PM candidates: Manmohan Singh and LK Advani. Can one say Mayawati is the third PM candidate! Which one do you think will be the better prime minister for India?
Any political party that comes to power determines the course of its national history. Politicians have the power to destroy a nation; they also have the same power the build a weak nation into a rich and powerful a nation. Isn't this a reason good enough for a person to go out and cast her/his vote?
What are some guidelines to bear in mind as one votes?

While going through the Congress probables for South Delhi, which is my Parliamentary constituency , I find the name of Sajjan Kumar as a possibility. Should I vote for Sajjan Kumar if he is nominated because he is a Congress man and theefore supposedly "secular" ? Will Sajjan Kumar be a great mind as policies are debated. Will he contribute to good governance ? What is the basis on which we vote for some one ? Governance or Secularism ? Which is more important ?
The Bible tells us to render unto Caesar what is his. But in a democracy, we have the addtional burden or privilege of helping determine who our Caesar shall be. And that is a bit of an awesome responsibility !
