Elections of 1.02 billion people

I asked my Tamilian maid whether she voted in yesterday's polling to Lok Sabha elections. She responds -'haan kiya tha na, thora late ho gaye the'. Then I asked her whom did she vote. She says - 'congress ko diya'. And adds further - 'haan, hum to hamesha congress ke saath hi hain'. She is unread. I wonder whether she ever considered seriously on whom she should vote or whom she should not vote. I am not presenting my opinions or inclinations here. But one thing I appreciate is that she voted.
