A general election will be the next election for the 16th Lok Sabha in India. Voting will take place in all parliamentary constituencies of India to elect Members of Parliament in the Lok Sabha. The current 15th Lok Sabha will complete its constitutional term on May 31, 2014
By constitutional requirement, elections to the Lok Sabha must be held at most every five years or whenever parliament is dissolved by the president. The previous election, to the 15th Lok Sabha, was conducted in April–May 2009 and its term would naturally expire on 31 May 2014. The election will be organised by the Election Commission of India (ECI) and are normally held in multiple phases to better handle the large electoral base and security concerns.
Congress had a empathic victory in 2009 lok sabha elections .UPA- 2 started on a high by wining almost full majority of its own.However ,their second term has been marred with controversies and corruption allegations.Starting with common wealth game scam,every few monthes saw a new scam coming out like Adarsh society scam and the biggest of all 2 G scam coal scam land aquastion scam,.Fuel and commodity prices have raisen sharply in the past few years adding to the woes of common men.Cursed against black money and corruption by Ana Hazare and to some extent baba Ramdev has only added to the woes of congress.But congress is srewed and knows politics very well.They know that offence is the best way of defend.For every scam or corruption news come out ,they bounce back

    First of all, an election must be held, at most, every five years in Canada, there are a number of reasons as to why a government calls an election early and there also happens to be some basic criteria you must pass before you are eligible to vote. Every election must take place before the ruling government has been in power for five years, however, elections are usually held closer to the four year mark. The only person that has the power to dissolve Parliament is the Governor General; conversely, he will only do so if the Prime Mistier recommends it. Why would a government ask to dissolve parliament? Perhaps because they are aware that they are ahead of the other parties at the time and doing so would most likely ensure them another win. Another reason could be that they had just lost a bill in the House of Commons; this would be known as a vote of non confidence. Nonetheless, before you head off to a polling station to cast your vote, you must first be sure that you are of the age 18, a Canadian…
