The Game Changer- NOTA or AAP?

In your opinion, what makes this election so curious? Or, is it curious? I find the election extremely curious, I will tell you why. Though I don’t think the rhetoric ‘cast vote, use your right’ worth considering, I think casting vote this year may be is interesting. The major reason for discarding this rhetoric is that we don’t have any right at all as we don’t have much voice in the selection of the candidates or in the decision making process. Election 2014 is curious enough for me because of three reasons:

The presence of AAP
Inclusion of large number of young voters
Introduction of NOTA


Among these I consider NOTA as of extremely curious, but I think the presence of AAP will decrease its relevance. Large sections of our people are against the political situation in our country, but couldn’t express their unhappiness in any other way. However, now, these discontent sections can show their feelings by voting NOTA. The relevance of NOTA is decreased not because these discontent sections are happy now, but they can show their unhappiness by voting AAP. Though this will not put AAP in power, it will have a strong effect in most of the states, especially in urban sections and among educated young Indians. The educated young Indians are not that much politically conscious as most political observers would think; in fact most of them are blindly following, the communal, fascist, feudal politics, but a significant minority among them will think otherwise.
It is not the majority who are turning the wheels of history and bringing about revolutions, but a vigilant minority.
