Voting IS an act of bias: you either cast a vote FOR or AGAINST someone. Unlike Sanjay Shrivastava I urge the youngsters to vote WITH bias - bias arrived at through their own knowledge and understanding of the situation. Furthermore, unlike Shrivastava, I urge the young voters to elect the 'wrong' persons, i.e. persons who will send Shrivastava back to his to Delhi where I am hopeful Madam-ji Sonia-ji will award him a Padmashri. We know that the one area that Shrivastava will not look into (and which is part of his job description - giving sermons to young people is not) is the issue of migrant voter fraud. r
