Me, poll pundit

Three tips on voting this election in India.

* Vote for a party that has a strong regional platform and a genuine regional progressive manifesto. Do not buy the ‘stability at the Centre’ argument. Strong regions make a strong nation.

* Vote for the candidate, not for the party. In India, candidates need parties because of the nature of politics. One cannot go it alone. However, a good candidate will put constituency above party and play the necessary politics to keep both happy. Vote for this person.

* Finally, vote. It’s one of the few populists agendas that’s kosher.
