Do u think Indian Government is Spending lot of money during Election

No, Because we the people of India do not vote on performance and party line.

1. 40 % do not vote.

2. 30 % cast vote for money, liqour etc.

3. 20 % cast vote in favour of those who do maximum show off, which not possible without money.

Rest is 10%

Means most of us cast the vote because of money power.

IN TERMS OF NUMBERS MAY BE THE AMOUNT SEEMS HIGHER.CONSIDERING OUR POPULATION,GEOGRAPHICAL SIZE OF OUR COUNTRY,AND THE FACT THAT THE WHOLE WORLD APPRECIATES THE SUCCESSFUL WAY ELECTIONS ARE CONDUCTED IN A PEACEFUL WAY IN THE LARGEST DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD IT IS LOWER.

I may please remind all : Govt. and Political Party is a different concept. ..  ..  ...   ...    ...   ....

We remeber what T. N. Sehon, Ex-Election Commissioner of India had told once :

Democracy is a costly proposition .... expenses are must. .. !   Meaning : there may be less expenses in : Monarchy, Military(junta) rule or in autocracy. At his time, for the first time, Voter Identity Cards were arranged in India.

....................................

Cant follow why expenses by E/Commission and Govt., for arranging an Election  is treated as political partys' expenses by some intelluctuals here . These are done through the whole five yrs to keep things ready.

Expenses by Govt. ( mind : Election Commission is an autonomus body, some inllectuals may treat it as Govt. though ) are made to arrange security while election is heing held  ...   India is a vast country.

Thanks for the referral Mr.Asoke Kusari. i accept but spending lot of money by govt. during election can not avoided. One reason that the govt has to give proper security arrangement for our costly politicians who are under threat. Moreover the govt. has to take some precautionary measures to avert booth capturing by the bad elements due political rival among politicians.

Hence spending more money during elections becomes a necessary evil.
