IN the Lok Sabha election 2019, hailed as a massive
mandate, the BJP won 303 seats out of 543 i.e. 55 per cent of the total seats.
This party had received 22.90 crore votes, which is 37 per cent of the polled
votes and just about 25 per cent of the total 91 crores
of eligible voters. Calling this massive mandate explains the warped nature of
India’s archaic election system. In a country that boasts of using high
technology (electronic) in the conduct of elections this is indeed pathetic. Is
India really a representative democracy?
