Abstract

The present paper describes that People traditionally are the followers of their concerned political parties because people caste their votes as a practice and continue go with parties’ fidelities for generations. They generally go with their religions also while voting. Voting is a self-expressive social behaviour in which individual ways of communication are highly motivated in mobilizing citizens to vote. Voters should be very cautious in observing the present governments on the basis of their overall performance during the entire term in office.
