This document discusses the need for electoral reforms in India to reduce the influence of money and muscle power in politics. It notes that money has become the medium of exchange for votes. This undermines democracy and the common man feels his vote does not matter. The document proposes several solutions, including better educating voters about their democratic rights and policies, scrutinizing candidates' promises and tactics, and regulating campaign spending. It emphasizes the need for candidates and politicians to have integrity and serve the people rather than themselves. Media should also help the public make informed choices. Overall the goal is for elections to be determined more by candidates' character than their wealth or influence.

2. PROBLEM STATEMENT
SCOPE:
The allot is stronger than the ullet. ― Abraham Lincoln
 Believing it is true, we have chosen this topic to present our views on it.
CAUSES:
 Influence of money is crossing its boundaries for every election tenure.
Money has become the exchange medium for votes in the 20th century.
 Common man of India is now in a state of assumption that elections and the politics are just
a play for every 5 years where they can earn money in a indirect manner.
 Promoting even the convicted candidates at the public expenses (taxes and donations) tells
us that electoral reforms has to take place and the candidates ought to follow the strict rules
and regulations.

3. REASONS FOR SELECTION OF THE CAUSE:
 Voter, the Common Man of India, is nothing, but, a mindless,
voiceless, faceless person, who is a part of the society,
but, only in the Census lists.
 He atters a lot, ut u fortu ately, he does t k o it.
 He has the power which not many have, the power to Vote.
 He a ele t the U o o Ma fro his o Co o Me , ut, he do t are!
Why he don’t are?
This is, actually, the point to ponder for us.
He do t are e ause othi g is goi g to happe , o ha ge of state is goi g to take
place for him. He was Common, he is Common and, most probably, he will remain a
Common Man.

4. OUR PROPOSED SOLUTION IS:
 “‘ight to ote a d e oted for “ ust rea h the ge eral pu li through all ea s.
 They need to be educated to know about the democratic policies.
 Promises and tactics played by the political candidates must be carefully scrutinized by
every adult/voter.
 They need to understand the power of voting and how it can influence in their lives not
just for one day but for the whole tenure.
 While voting to a right candidate, He must think about their family, surroundings, society
and the town.
 He need to be remembered that his 1 vote can change the fate of his state/nation.
 He should not tempt to the temporary promises and he should behave like a saint or
protest like a re el i “ ote for o ey " o ept.

5. These are already the known solutions to the above problem stated.
But the problem is these rules are governed by the policy makers.
 And with a wicked intention, they underestimate the power of Common Man.
 Ethics in politics is missing and it is a great concern for the people of India to notice
this.
 They need to be intelligent and trained themselves to pick a right candidate for
them to serve.
 Media and the news papers should initiate these things and should help pubic in
choosing their service providers!!.
 Its time for some of the politicians to realize their mistakes in committing crimes,
scams and they must voluntarily move out from the democratic parties. It will be a
start of ethicism!

6. Our propose solution and its merits:
CHANGE MUST COME WITH IN ONE SELF!!!
 A good candidate to participate in a election need not be enough with rich assets but he
must be with a good heart to serve and with a intention to develop his own country.
 He eed to e pro oted ell ith his hara ter a d the party s trust.
 Spending billions of rupees for a developing country like India is to be monitored and
regulated.
 Character must decide number of votes but not by tempting the common man with the
influence of money and the muscle power!.
