Elections in India

The greatest democratic elections on the globe are taking place, in India, between April 7th to May 12th this year.

Three parties compete for dominance of the 16th Lok Sabha:

The Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP ) under the leadership of Narendra Modi

The Indian National Congress (INC) under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi.

The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam(AIADMK) under the leadership of  J. Jayalalithaa.

Who shall win? polls speak of a possible victory for Modi and the BJP, but they do not speak of an outright victory. Considering their level of accuracy, we will have to wait for the real results. India, due its size and cultural complexity, is even harder to predict than other democracies....

Narendra Modi
 Rahul Gandhi
J. Jayalalithaa












If you know to know a little bit more, take a look at John Oliver's take of these elections. Funny and smart, maybe not as respectful as some Indians would have liked him to be, but this was one of the most serious reports in U.S media of the greatest democratic elections on the globe
