With 90 crore eligible voters across the country, India’s Lok Sabha election is the largest in the world. The election is being held in seven phases from April 11 to May 19, 2019. The results of the polls will be announced on May 23.
We know that the ruling party Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is battling the main opposition Indian National Congress (INC) and a host of regional parties. A large number of these State parties form alliances with the major national parties (namely BJP, INC, NCP, CPI, CPI(M), BSP and TMC) or sometimes even contest independently. Apart from the national and State parties, there are registered but unrecognised political parties, which can choose from a list of ‘free symbols’ issued by the poll panel to contest the elections.
How well do you know these regional players?
Hop on! Join us as we travel across each state to get a glimpse of some of the nation’s major State parties.
