It’s not just a vote, it’s an act of faith I am speaking not as an actor but as an individual who was born and brought up in ordinary circumstances, says Jayasurya

Election period is the time when the fingers of the rich and the poor look alike, irrespective of their shape and colour. What I dream of through this election is the everlasting absence of such differentiation. Candidates should work for a better tomorrow as candidly as they appeal for votes. They must tell people with the same energy with which they exhort voters to cast ballots that, if they win, they will be there to solve people’s problems.

The speed shown to bring development immediately after the election and just before the term ends has to be shown throughout the period of governance. The speed of development drops between these two periods. Through each vote, people show their trust in the candidate. It’s not just a vote, it’s a record of one person’s faith in another. Then, isn’t it the duty of those who take that trust and go higher up to see his pain and meet his demands?

Main consideration must be given to the primary needs of people. Because of that, those who win must see the problems of the downtrodden and work for them. No leader who lives for the people will ever have to seek votes. People will vote for them.

I am speaking not as an actor but as an individual who was born and brought up in ordinary circumstances. That is why I react very emotionally to traffic blocks and toll collection.
