India, goes to vote in April/May, to elect its Prime Minister(P.M) ???

No! It will vote to elect "Members" of the 17th Lok Sabha. 543 Members of Parliament, then elect their Prime Minister. The whole election process is clear, it is called Democracy. 

With the definition of Elections, taken care of. Let's have a look at other related terminologies in the present context (21st Century India):

1) Election Commission: The main objective of the E.C is to announce the elections dates after the Prime Minister completes his last gasp project inaugurations & "Nationalistic" speeches before the "Model Code of Conduct" kicks in. Other objectives include the conduct, late night announcement of results & farcical tests of the E.V.M (when questioned) in a controlled environment.

2) Election Campaign: On paper, the campaigns begin after the announcement of the election dates. But in reality, it begins 5 years back, upon the culmination of the last election. The Government uses the entire machinery available at its disposal, to highlight the multiple lapses by the previous governments. Meanwhile, the opposition points out the failure of the ruling majority. Wait! That's not a campaign, it is their JOB.

3) Political Parties: The major beneficiaries of the whole Election Process. The politicians deliver their choicest promises/Jumlas in scorching rallies with thousands of 'poorly paid' cheering supporters. In India, the political parties are led by the Reliance, Adani Group & other corporate houses.

4) Voters: The decision makers, the constituents, the 'Holy Grail' for the politicians till the announcement of the results. Once elected, most of the Netas simply forget their voters for the next 5 years. In some cases, these voters double up as the "Social Media" marketing team of the ruling party.

5) President/Governor: The final cog of the election process. The 'highest authority' in India closely analyses the final results and invites the leading political party to form the government. In some instances, the final authority gets influenced by Ideology and invites the party without adequate numbers to indulge in the noble practice of Horse trading and Defection.

What follows next? Overnight counsel of the Supreme Court of India & 'Luxury Resort' Visits for the tired elected Law-makers. We will discuss other related topics in subsequent posts filled with knowledge, advice and a heavy dose of Sarcasm :-) !

Meanwhile, remember the date, April 11th 2019, people of the 20 states going to poll, Please VOTE for your choice of M.P, not P.M. On a later thought, Please Vote.
