The current situation of the various political parties is as follows.
  • Indian National Congress
    • The Congress, having dominated Indian politics ever since Independence, has had a very poor last term. The party has been the target of several high-profile corruption scams, and the general sentiment is against the rising prices and lack of development. The extent of people's displeasure was evident in the 2013 assembly elections, in which the party got wiped out in important states like Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

  • Bharatiya Janata Party
    • The Bharatiya Janata Party has failed to win majority in the past two general elections of India. The party has declared Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister of Gujarat as the prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 general election. The BJP is hoping to capitalize on Modi's image of an able administrator, and the prevalent crisis within the Congress party.

  • Aam Aadmi Party
    • Arvind Kejriwal, the chief minister of Delhi, has declared that his party would be contesting the 2014 general elections from all 300 Lok Sabha seats spread across the country. For many the new party has emerged as the preferred political alternative. Tentative date for 2014 general elections


Elections in Phases 

Elections are organized in multiple phases to ensure complete security during the elections and prevent any kind of ruckus. 2009 general elections were held in 5 phases and were successful but this time there is a possibility of change in the number of phases. The national elections may be conducted in more than by five phases.

Polling stations 

In 2009 general elections, there were 828,804 polling booths around the nation. The general elections of 2014 are likely to have 780 million voters at over 800,000 polling booths, with around 1.18 million electronic voting machines (EVMs). Communication Plan for Election (COMET), an SMS-based alert system would be used by the ECI during the 2014 election. It will ensure delivery of all election-related messages to the government officials appointed for election duty.
