Lok Sabha elections 2024 refers to the general elections scheduled to take place starting 19 April in seven phases. The results of these election will give India its next government.
Lok Sabha elections or General Elections are conducted every five years in India. Held across 543 constituencies, Members of Parliament to the lower house are elected through these polls. The party with a majority in the Lok Sabha then forms the government at the Centre, so these elections eventually lead to the election of the Prime Minister and their cabinet.
The Lok Sabha, or the House of the People, is the lower house of India’s bicameral Parliament. The upper house is called the Rajya Sabha. Members of the Lok Sabha are elected by an adult universal suffrage and a first-past-the-post system to represent their respective constituencies.
The first Lok Sabha elections were held in 1951 when the Indian National Congress came to power with Jawaharlal Nehru as Prime Minister. The last such election was held in 2019, where the Bharatiya Janta Party came to power with an overwhelming majority with Narendra Modi as prime minister. The next elections are scheduled to take place in 7 phases starting 19 April 2024. The Election Commission of India is responsible for conducting these elections.
Isn’t it stupid obvious now – all the ridiculous stupid statements coming from the career politicians. Muslim, Pakistan, PoK and its counters. And a toothless ECI. Is this what an educated India is about? I cannot see any sensible citizen who cares about the country voting for such nonsense. Grow a pair and forget about religion – elect sensible people who are not corrupt, criminal or stupidly high on religion. The world is progressing and we are regressing to Stone Age with such nonsense.
Bhaktas are still dreaming!
What silence are you speaking about? The ‘anger’ in 2014 or the ‘silence’ now are your figments of imagination. Economy is in a bad state? The inflation is below 5 percent as compared to over 8 percent in 2013. Recently one of the former IMF directors has said that a record number of job creations is happening in Modi’s India. India is doing better on every parameter: security, energy, infrastructure, economy, etc. under NDA as compared to that of UPA.
Let’s have some patience and wait for the results. Librandus are running ahead of themselves out of frustration of not being able to dictate the narrative their way.
