“As citizens, we are responsible for the government we get. Our wishes have to be followed by the democratically elected representatives. If those elected do not pay attention to our demands, it is our responsibility to elect those who will listen to our voice,” says Rajesh Jain, technology entrepreneur who was involved in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 2014 Lok Sabha election campaign, in his new video called "Mere Mann Ki Baat, Aapke Dhan Ki Baat" .
In the video, he calls for people to make the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2019 about the citizens of the country and not about the politicians – to make the elections about ‘Dhan Vapasi’.
According to Jain, ‘Dhan Vapasi’ can ensure that every Indian family is returned their “rightful share of this wealth”, which he claims is ₹1 lakh every year to every Indian family.
“We can make this election about the return of our wealth – ‘Dhan Vapasi’ – instead of handing more wealth to the government,” says Jain in the video.
He appeals to people to come together and create an alternative from divisive politics, and asks Indians to create a “new choice, a new direction” for themselves.
Every PM and every government has failed to make Indians rich. We can continue to vote for those who failed us for 70 years or we can come together and vote for Dhan Vapasi.
