Elections in Delhi

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-25211071

The voter turnout in Delhi for the current election has been surprisingly high this year. The turnout was 66% which is a massive increase from previous years. The election commission board even had to extend voting hours in order to allow adequate time for everyone to vote. The election this year is the current  ruling congress party trying for a fourth consecutive term. This party is opposed by the BJP and the Common Man Party. The comman man party was born out of an anti corruption movement and has emerged as a strong contender this year. So far, it is unclear of who is likely to win. "The Congress campaign has been led by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dixit, 75, who is seeking a record fourth consecutive term in office promising "inclusive development"."

1) Who do you think is likely to win the election this year?
2) Why do you think the congress party and the BJP party have "dismissed the common man party as a serous contender" this year?
3) What is your opinion of Indias current ruling system?

  1. 1. I believe the Delhi chief shall win.

    2. Because in past elections they have had no impact in the elections.

    3. I believe the system is not very good because of all the corruption in India.
