IPL - Indian Political League

The great Indian Political League

Hi friends Nilesh here once again. Comes with a new topic, Indian Elections.
As there will polling for Loksabha from 16th April. That will be held in 4 steps.
I want to give readers the brief of elections in India. In India there are approximately 1500 Authorized registered political parties!!! and 7 national parties according to Election Commission of India.
Those parties are
1) Indian National Congress (INC, led by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi),
2) Bhartiy Janata Party (BJP led by Mr. L.K. Advani)
3) Nationalist Congress Party (NCP, led by Mr. Sharad Pawar),
4) Communist Party of India (CPI led by Mr. A.B. Bardhan),
5) Communist Party of India (Marxist) CPM, led by Mr. Prakash Karat)
6) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP led By Miss. Mayawati),
7) Rashtriy Janata Dal(RJD led by Mr. Lalu Prasad Yadav).
As I told you there are around 1500 parties in India so single party rule is not possible here. (As there are various regions, languages & religions in India). Now the situation is that similar philosophy parties come together and form a Government. So there are 3 alliances. 1) U.P.A. (United Progressive Alliance) – The Current Government, Led by Congress.
2) N.D.A. (National Democratic Alliance) – The Opposition, led by Bartiy Janata Party.
3) Third Front. (In this front all parties come together who wants that country require the Government other than Congress & BJP or other than UPA & NDA).
But Third front is not united and strong so there will be direct fight between UPA & NDA in most of the states.
Congress Party is the oldest party in the India. Congress party and similar philosopher parties thinks that all religions should live together peacefully. They believe on Secularism.
Bhartiy Janata Party (The Main Opposition Party) and similar philosopher parties thinks that Majorities in India are Hindus so they should be in the power and India Should be a Hindu Nation.
(Like Pakistan is Islamic Nation.)
Communist Parties or Left Front thinks that there is no religion and all are Indians only they are against Capitalism & Hinduism.
The only party that has representatives all over India is Congress party. Base of BJP is Hindi belt region and Communist are in 3 states only but there are so strong over there.
By the way I’m from Maharashtra State. And here NCP is no 1 party then Congress then Shivsena & then BJP.
Ruling parties are NCP & Congress.
So this is brief information about Indian Politics or Indian Election. Curiosity wills over on 16th May 09 that is deciding day/result day.
So keep watching keep, listening, keep reading The Great Indian Political League.
