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.
We must also make a distinction between Adanisation and privatisation.
We must also understand that before asking someone else (who has very less) to give up their dreams, we (who have very much) must sacrifice first. So asking village youth to give up secured military job or asking old men to adjust with lower pension, the MPs who almost always are already crorepatis must give up hefty salary raises and luxurious perks. And, of course, pension for mostly looting public wealth is absolutely slap on the poor’s face. So they should give up pension for just 5 years.
Also indirect tax should not be used to compensate for your economic mess/incompetence like demonetisation, swatch bharat sandas scheme which was foolishness by design, etc.
Electricity must not be free, but it should be subsidised for agriculture.
If you think that people work or earn money so that they could only eat and if they r given free food they will stop working then god help u. I believe people work to eat but they earn money to buy iPhone. Because otherwise most of us well off folks had no need to work any more, we could eat our wealth off while watching tv whole life and still have something left. Also thinking this way is very dishonourable our no so good doing fellow. This is cavalier attitude.
Providing food or social security to our people is like investing in/helping them, just like a parent support the child in their early life.
we must also understand that the logical end of capitalism is communism, because growth based economy or world cannot continue forever. But, yeah, that is still far away.
Also there must not be a new parliament or statue of unity when parliament never runs full, and old parliament is already gargantuan. When 85% of the population live in poverty.
