Young Generation Must Be Aware of Its Rights and Duties: Rajeshwar Singh
State Election Commissioner Rajeshwar Singh said the younger generation must be aware of its rights and responsibilities and actively participate in the democratic process. Only then could the country's future become brighter and more developed.
He said the true meaning of democracy was that a civilised and cultured society should resolve its differences peacefully and with dignity.
The State Election Commissioner said voters should choose capable, committed and thoughtful public representatives who were well aware of the problems facing their constituencies. Voters should make their choices without being influenced by any form of undue inducement and should rise above considerations of caste and religion.
He emphasised the need to elect representatives who were committed to resolving public grievances and had the ability to work actively on the ground in the interests of the people.
He further said that, alongside choosing public representatives, it was equally important to maintain brotherhood, harmony and social cohesion in villages, local areas and districts during elections.
Several candidates contest an election, but only one can win. Therefore, everyone should accept victory and defeat gracefully and participate in the electoral process with a sporting spirit.
He said that just as children play sports in the true spirit of sportsmanship, adults should also learn from them and demonstrate maturity. They must ensure that personal relationships and social harmony remain intact throughout the election process.
Singh also explained that voters could establish their identity and cast their votes using any of the 11 alternative identification documents prescribed by the Election Commission, in addition to the Elector Photo Identity Card (EPIC).
He said the Election Commission was continuously organising voter awareness programmes through Systematic Voters’ Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) activities to increase voter turnout and ensure that every eligible voter participated in the festival of democracy.
District Election Officer Ashish Modi, District Superintendent of Police Sanjeev Nain, Zila Parishad Chief Executive Officer and SVEEP in-charge Rajpal Yadav, Sub-Divisional Officer Ashish Sharma, Development Officer Roma Saharan, other concerned officials, teachers, students and a large number of local residents attended the programme.
