Elections are when the people of the country choose their leaders as India is a democratic republic. Different people with same ideologies come together to form a party. People representing parties stand in the elections and then get elected to Lok Sabha and the leader of the winning party becomes the Prime Minister. The elections take place every five years in India .
People from different parties or individuals stand from a constituency so you go and vote for that person, but in the end the leader of the winning party become’s the prime minister. The prime minister then chooses some ministers to join him in his cabinet of ministers. The prime minister gets to govern over the country for five years.
The Election Commission of India conduct the elections all over the country and check for fair and just means to be used by the candidates. Electronics voting machines are used on which the party’s name is written with the logo and a blue button next to it. You have press the button to elect that leader. From September 27, 2013 they installed a button called None of the Above (NOTA) button which means you don’t want to elect anybody but you want to go vote . So you press that button but you don’t elect anybody. Once you have voted the person on duty will use a special ink and make a mark on one of your fingers and this means that you’ve voted and you can’t vote anywhere else. If you try, you’ll get sent to prison. The teachers of government run school and colleges are made to do election duty and make sure there will be fair elections. In year 2009, the elections involved an electorate of 714 million.
There are many different parties such as Congress, Bharatia Janta party (BJP), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), ShivSena, Samajwadi Party,Bahujan Samaj Party. Some are the national parties which have a country wide presence and others are regional parties which work more in a particular state. The National parties then take help of regional parties to contest the election. For example, BJP is the national party but Shiv Sena is the regional party helping them with elections in Maharashtra. If there is a candidate standing from shiv Sena in a particular 3constituency, there will be nobody from BJP there. Shiv Sena and BJP are allies.
Different parties have different logos like for congress there’s the hand, BJP the lotus, the AAP the broom and many more. The elections are fun but can sometimes be dangerous. Elections can be dangerous when the people from parties come and hit, burn houses and do other not nice stuff to people who didn’t vote for that party and the men who do this get money in return. Candidates bribe people by giving them money, food , clothes etc. to go and vote for that party.
Elections are a fundamental duty of the Indian Citizen. Every citizen above the age of 18 has to fulfill his duty towards the country by going and voting.
