In countries around the world, as long as the United States starts the presidential election, there will definitely be a lot of trouble. But in terms of the scale of the campaign, Lao Mei's presidential campaign and this Bizhen have to be a little later, after all, compared with the Indian election, it is really the younger brother. [I don't look at it]
Which one is stronger in the election? Central North America is looking for the old beauty. Every time I see the news of the presidential election on the news, the first thing that comes to mind must be the United States, after all, the presidential election of the United States can be called a large-scale reality show, and all kinds of strange things and braggings emerge in endlessly.
They all thought that the U.S. presidential election was invincible, but they didn't expect that there was another country in the mysterious East that was even braver than him, and that was India!
On April 19, India's general election began to notify all Indian voters, which means that India's presidential election this year officially kicked off. Generally speaking, in our country's general election, two or three political parties compete for the presidency, and there are only five or six of them, but India never plays its cards according to the routine.
There are more than 2,600 parties participating in the general election in India, of which 6 national parties are relatively normal, but what is the matter with the more than 2,000 small parties?
Hey, don't forget that India doesn't play cards according to common sense, and it seems that there are so many parties, and not all of them have to compete together. India's largest opposition party, the National Congress (hereinafter referred to as the Congress Party), has gathered 26 parties to encircle Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party.
But Modi Lao Xian united 38 parties to form a coalition and directly crushed the Indian National Congress party in all aspects. The editor wants to say that you still need to choose, whoever pulls more people in the future will win.
Not only is there an outrageous number of political parties in India, but the number of voters eligible to vote in India is as high as 969 million, which is more than the population of the United States, the European Union and Russia combined, accounting for 10% of the world's population, which is the strength of the "superpower" India.
The votes of these more than 900 million voters need to be received and counted by 1.05 million polling stations and 5.5 million electronic voting machines across India.
According to Indian regulations, Indian citizens can register on the voter registration form as long as they are at least 18 years old and have a valid voter ID card, which is equivalent to being an adult voter, as long as you register in the year of the general election, you must participate in the vote, even if you live abroad, once you register, you must return to your home country to participate in voting activities.
India's general election this year is expected to cost as much as $14.4 billion, but when you think about it, it's fair to print more than 900 million votes. In addition, the security situation and polling station staff are also in huge demand for such a large-scale polling event, and India will need a total of 15 million staff to maintain the normal flow of voting activities during the election.
Not only that, but because of the relaxed requirements of the electorate, some voters live in high-altitude mountainous areas. General transportation is really not up, and staff need to use helicopters to count the votes of this part of the voters, and in a way India is quite fair, even if you live in the deep mountains and old forests, you have to let you vote.
The Indian constitution stipulates that India is a socialist and non-religious democratic republic, but according to India's performance, it is incompatible with democracy and society.
There is also confusion about religion and caste systems, so in this chaotic social system, India cannot follow the electoral system of other countries. Therefore, with his own understanding of the British electoral system, he came up with a set of special electoral systems suitable for India.
However, they also have something in common with ordinary election campaigns, that is, they are inseparable from the financial assistance of large corporations and conglomerates, but India's methods of operation are the same as their election system.
In 2018, Mr. Modi came up with a bizarre method of fundraising, in which the State Bank of India would issue a new type of election bond that could be purchased by companies and individuals, and donations to the party in an anonymous manner.
Then the bonds can be exchanged with the bank for money, which is purely left-handed and right-handed. Although there is no interest, due to the anonymous nature, it is impossible to verify the donation information.
It gives the green light to Indian politicians and businessmen to exchange interests, so many companies and local tycoons will rush to buy it, so Indian political parties don't need to worry about money at all.
But while Modi was immersed in the thrill of using this routine to "kill" the Congress party in seconds, in February this year, the Supreme Court of India declared the "election bonds" illegal, and also required the State Bank of India to disclose the details of the buyers and recipients.
It's not just money or cliques, but the methods of struggle between Modi and the Congress Party are really varied. On April 26, an unusually popular video appeared on the Indian Internet, in which India's hottest actors, Aamir Khan and Ranveer Singh, angrily criticized Modi for failing to fulfill his campaign promises during his term of office, and asked people to vote for the opposition Congress Party at the end of the video.
The video has been viewed 500,000 times on the Indian Internet, but two actors confirmed that the video was faked and made through AI synthesis technology, which shows that the two factions are really "painstaking" in their election methods.
In a number of polls conducted in March, Modi, the representative of the Bharatiya Janata Party, had a whopping 70 percent support. Despite the various smears of the reactionary Congress party, Modi still relied on single-handedly "instigating religious contradictions in India" to deceive the Indian people, and still maintained a super high support rate, and the Congress Party could only express its helplessness about it.
But is it better for the Indian people to choose the Congress party? On the one hand, Modi preaches that he promised the people to make India bigger and stronger after his re-election, but you failed to fulfill your last promise, and you have put this promise on hold.
On the other side, Rahul Gandhi, the representative of the Congress party, was not a good one, and others boasted that his grandfather drove out the British with Nehru, but his grandfather was Nehru's pure first and third generations.
Until now, all the political expenses are the foundation saved by the grandfathers back then, saying that he can do things, not necessarily, after all, he has never been in power, you say he can't do it, his grandfather is Nehru. So the Indians don't know who to choose, and the comparison between these two is a sleeping dragon and a phoenix, so who chooses is entangled.
Although the opposition parties have made a lot of efforts, it is still difficult to stop Modi's re-election, which shows that Modi will continue to govern the country with religion in the future and establish what he calls the "prosperous era of Rama".
