DEMOCRACY PLEASE !

Recently, BJP Government in Gujarat brought  a bill to make voting compulsory for the election of local government bodies. I think this move should be welcomed by one and all. If one does not vote , he loses the right to complain for bad governance.  Gujarat Government is also contemplating to add a none from above option in the voting machine. So, this way citizens can express their dislike for all the candidates in the fray.
BJP people are saying that is is a historical decision. Well done, but, I have a suggestion too. Take one more historical step. Make election compulsory in your organization too , please !

Nitin Gadakari became the BJP President. He is not an elected president but, selected one. He has been selected by one or two people from RSS. Nitin  is not a familiar name in national politics till now. He never show any specific skills for this elevation. He is just an obedient boy  of Sangh leaders.  

Selection is became a rule in BJP. From, block level to national level , everywhere you will see selected people are holding top post. They all are handpicked from a coterie of people who are known as high command. see the mockery , the people who are running an organization which has to rule democratically, never observe democracy on their own. They believe that people can be imposed from the top. Feelings of number of party workers is not important, any one who have done base work for the party is not qualified, you have to be just an obedient boy for high command. No matter if common people do not know you, no matter if party workers do not know you, only thing that really matter is that high command know you.
We know that there is not internal democracy in the Congress too. So, BJP could become an example for the Congress. But, here what we are seeing is that BJP is following congress in rejection of internal democracy in the organization.
If parties are running in autocratic way, this autocracy will be automatically reflected in their governance also. We can see the example in Gujarat itself.
 BJP has taken a revolutionary step in Gujarat by way of compulsory voting so, it should take another revolutionary step by making internal elections compulsory in organizational set up.
