Don't Vote your caste, just cast your vote

Yesterday one of my friend who work with a news channel, told that Munna bhai is likely to get a good news ( as she felt, while sitting in her office and analysing news) , I felt very sad on the behalf of another man. Now this man is a real champ, he quit his Job at IIT (where he was a professor) to start Asha, which is into ‘socioeconomic change in India through education’ . His name is Sandeep Pandey; he is also the youngest Indian to have won Ramon Magasasay award -- the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Prize. He was also involved in the RTI movement, and as an aware citizen of Lucknow , he had also filed a PIL in the Supreme Court urging it to cancel Munna bhai 's plea to contest the elections.
Now it’s a celebration time for him and other citizen of Lucknow (me included), that we have rejected a tainted candidate. Anyway I never understood the logic of SP in lucknow, they have always went for so-called crowd pulling candidates.
