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.
So we are planning to bring back the party that ravaged our country for decades out of spite for the supreme leader. Why can’t we help in the emergence of new parties? Why can’t social activists who have started new parties stick to improving their own? Why an intellectual thinker like YoYa who had started a party of his own, is genuflecting before an insincere entitled fourth/fifth generation upper caste privileged tantrum prone dynast of unteachable mediocrity is beyond all limits of rational explanation. Now even the sister and the brother in law is joining in. Next it will be the nephews. Is that the only replacement of the supreme leader available to India? Have we already forgotten the his arrogant conduct during their last stint in power. Do we really believe he is anything but a dauphin ensorcelled to faux left ideals who will be an even more rapacious dictator? Has YoYa forgotten had Mr Mukherjee and Chidambaram did to the Anna movement that he was so close to? If AK could bring AAP to power in 2 states, with time even YoYa can do the same. He need not start such abject charana vandana of the first family in hopes for scrapes from the high table. Not yet.
YoYa should keep his efforts to convince CONgress his candidature private. Public is not much interested. A party that ruled the country most part post independence, unable to get 100 seats three times in a row is not ANY kind of achievement. One only makes a fool out of oneself by making a mountain out of such molehill.
And the fact that the Congress party is a socialist junkie is a reality, not a myth.
