Editor's Notes
- 1000+ Parties India has 6 national parties, 54 regional parties and 1000+ unrecognised parties The Indian National Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are the only two truly national parties. Together they accounted for 59 per cent of seats in 2009 (and 47 per cent of votes). Parties with a regional presence won the remaining share. The Role of Symbols in Indian Elections Symbols have played a pivotal role in India since its first general election in 1951-52. At the time, barely a fifth of the population could read or write, so symbols were introduced on the ballot papers to help the mass of illiterate citizens to cast their vote. Candidates on the campaign trail had to make sure their supporters knew which symbol represented their party. Literacy is now widespread – nearly three quarters of Indians can read or write – but election symbols are now a deep-rooted part of India’s political tradition, and have become a powerful tool for political parties to convey their messages. India’s best-known political symbols, the outstretched hand or palm (hath in Hindi) and the lotus (or Kamal) – a flower closely associated with the Hindu deity Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth – belong to its two largest parties, the Congress and the Hindu nationalist Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). When new parties emerge onto the scene, they must choose from a list of about 100 “free symbols” available through the election commission. The newest big entrant to Indian politics, the anti corruption, Aam Adami Party (AAP) selected the humble broom, which it said reflected its mission to sweep clean the political system – a clever choice that captured many voters’ imaginations. Symbols of the National Parties: BSP – Elephant BJP – Lotus Communist Party of India - Ears of Corn and Sickle Communist Party of India (Marxist) - Hammer, Sickle and Star Indian National Congress - Hand Nationalist Congress Party - Clock Symbols of State Parties Some of the symbols of the regional parties include: Car, Bicycle, Grass, Arrow, Hurricane Lamp, Farmer carrying Paddy on her head, Railway Engine, Arrow, Flower and Grass Cultivator Cutting Crop, Sun (without rays), Rising Sun, Two leaves , Spade & Stoker
- CONGRESS – (THE SENIOR PARTY IN THE UNITED PROGRESSIVE ALLIANCE) History India’s oldest political party, founded in 1885 Controlled by the “first family” of Indian politics, the Nehru-Gandhi family From the 1960s many regional parties and the BJP started challenging INC’s monopoly on power Following the 2009 national election Congress secured 206 seats in the Lok Sabha making it the single largest party in the parliament. Congress leads the governing coalition of parties known as the United Progressive Alliance (UPA). The current Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh is a member of the Congress Party. A renowned economist, he is the only Prime Minister since Jawaharlal Nehru to return to power after completing a full five-year term, and the first Sikh to hold the office Philosophy Left-of-centre, pro-poor political platform Beginning around 1984 began moving toward the ideological centre. Party Organisation Indira Gandhi created a top-down structure in which party leaders appoint party officials In recent times there has been a push to further democratise the party – with party elections extended to select new roles.
- Rahul Gandhi is likely to be Congress Party’s candidate for PM. The party has appointed him the “lead campaigner” for the election. Rahul Gandhi was born 19 June 1970. He is the Vice President of the Indian National Congress party. Gandhi served as a General Secretary in the All India Congress Committee. He is the second-ranked member of the Congress Working Committee. Gandhi comes from the politically influential Nehru–Gandhi family. His late father, Rajiv Gandhi, had served as the Prime Minister of India and had been President of the Congress Party. His mother Sonia Gandhi is currently serving as President of the Congress. He grew up in New Delhi, where his grandmother Indira Gandhi, was serving as Prime Minister until her assassination in 1984. His father was likewise assassinated in 1991. Due to security concerns, Gandhi constantly had to shift schools in his youth. He studied abroad under a pseudonym. After obtaining degrees in international relations and philosophy at the universities of Rollins and Cambridge, Gandhi worked as a management consultant in London. He then established a Mumbai-based technology outsourcing firm. The Congress Party does not formally nominate its candidate for Prime Minister before the election. They argue that a parliamentary election is not like a US style presidential race. Once the election is over if the Prime Minister will be elected by the Parliament. In practice, Rahul Gandhi is the Congress Party’s “lead campaigner” and will be their candidate for PM if they can secure enough votes in the parliament. The party’s election materials – shown in this slide - present him in this way.

- Narendra Modi is BJP’s candidate for PM Narendra Modi was born 17 September 1950. Modi is the 14th Chief Minister of the state of Gujarat. He is a member of the BJP and is the party’s prime ministerial candidate for the 2014 Indian general elections. Modi was a key strategist for the BJP in Gujarat state election campaigns, and was a major campaign figure in the 2009 general elections. He first became chief minister of Gujarat in October 2001. In July 2007, he became the longest-serving Chief Minister in Gujarat's history. He is currently serving his fourth consecutive term as Chief Minister. Modi is described as a Hindu nationalist by media, scholars and himself. He is a controversial figure both within India and internationally. His administration has been criticised for the incidents surrounding the 2002 Gujarat violence and race riots. On the other hand, he is often touted as the most effective public speaker of India’s politicians. He has been praised for his economic policies, which are credited with creating an environment for a high rate of economic growth in Gujarat. However, his administration has also been criticised for failing to make a significant positive impact upon the human development of the state.
- Aam Aadmi Party (“Common Man Party” or AAP) AAP is an Indian political party, formally launched on 26 November 2012. AAP came into existence out of the India against Corruption movement. The AAP has led several protests since its formation. Among these was a campaign against an alleged nexus between government and private corporations relating to price rises for electricity and water in Delhi. Another saw the party demanding justice for victims of sexual harassment and rape, including the introduction of a stronger anti-rape law. The party's first electoral test was in the 2013 Delhi legislative assembly election, from which it emerged as the second-largest party, winning 28 of the 70 seats. With no party obtaining an overall majority, the AAP formed a minority government with conditional support from the Indian National Congress. In terms of political philosophy and personnel, AAP is a melting pot of left, right and centre. The party says that it does not have an ideology. This is also a criticism that is made against the party. The AAP government in Delhi resigned after just 49 days after it unsuccessfully tried to introduce a bill to create an anti-corruption ombudsman. The Congress and BJP were opposed to the Bill. AAP was criticised by Congress and BJP and some media for failing to transform itself from an activist outfit to a leading political party and governing body The coming few months are going to be crucial for the party as it tries to maintain political momentum. It is planning to contest around 400 seats in the 2014 parliamentary election. For the AAP, the coming elections will demonstrate whether the party is a one-time phenomenon confined to Delhi only or something greater.
- Arvind Kejriwal is the leader of the AAP and is likely to be their candidate for PM in the event the party can lead a coalition into government. Arvind Kejriwal was born in 1968. He is an Indian politician and former civil servant who served as the 7th Chief Minister of Delhi from 28 December 2013 to 14 February 2014. He is the leader of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). Kejriwal is a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. He worked for the Indian Revenue Service (IRS) as a Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax Department. He is known for his efforts to enact and implement the right to information laws and tackle corruption. In 2006, Kejriwal received a major award for his involvement in a grassroots movement using right-to-information legislation in a campaign against corruption. The same year, after resigning from the IRS, he donated his award money as a corpus fund to found a non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to tackling corruption. In 2012, he launched the Aam Aadmi Party, and he defeated Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in the 2013 Delhi Legislative Assembly election. Following the election, he took office as the Chief Minister of Delhi on 28 December 2013. He resigned 49 days later, on 14 February 2014, stating he did so because of his government's inability to pass his proposed anti-corruption legislation due to a lack of support from other political parties. In the 2014 election Kejriwal has chosen to run in Veranasi against Narendra Modi the BJP’s candidate for PM.
