With Lok Sabha Elections 2024 just ten days away, political parties are engaged in a war of words on social media and press conferences. Poll campaigning has begun with much fervour in many states in the country, and both the BJP and the Congress continue to draw huge crowds in their rallies.
While election campaigns ideally should be about what the ruling government has done for the people during its rule, campaigns in India remain very much a personal attack.
Despite being the prime minister of the country for the last ten years, Narendra Modi continues to attack Pt Jawaharlal Nehru and the Gandhi family instead of outlining what the ruling party has done for the common people. Moreover, "mandir politics" continues unabated despite the Model Code of Conduct being in place.
On Monday, #NoVoteToModi trended on X (formerly Twitter). Many people criticised the ruling government for inflation, COVID mismanagement, unemployment, ignoring Manipur violence, and a hike in medicine prices, among other issues.
General elections will be held in India from 19 April 2024 to 1 June 2024 to elect the 543 members of the 18th Lok Sabha. The elections will be held in seven phases, and the results will be announced on 4 June 2024.
