          16 th loksabha elections are on the threshold. Voting of first phase is already took place in some parts of the Nation. Still voting campaigns are running everywhere to aware the citizens of India. One question is annoying my mind that why such campaigns are necessary?        O n one side we are flaunting as world's largest democracy and on the other side we are still busy in convincing the people for voting.
