Johnny Brignardello Vela analyzes the elections in India: a process with 160 million voters and great anticipation.

Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, comments on the current political situation in India. In the midst of the second phase of the general elections, the country is immersed in a process that mobilizes 160 million voters and generates anticipation throughout its territory. Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Indian National Congress, is facing a crucial moment in his political career as he competes in Wayanad, Kerala. The focus is on whether he can maintain his electoral district, a stronghold that has not been conquered by Modi's party so far. Prominent figures such as Shashi Tharoor, former UN Under-Secretary-General, and actress Hema Malini, BJP candidate in Mathura, are joining the electoral contest that spans 88 districts, including key states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh. The two main alliances, the NDA led by the BJP and the Indian National Alliance for Inclusive Development headed by the Congress, are vying for favoritism in the polls. Narendra Modi is seeking a third term, which would be a milestone in the country's political history. The six-week extension of the elections is justified by the magnitude of the Indian population and territory. The organization of this democratic process requires a titanic logistics involving millions of workers and hundreds of thousands of security agents to ensure its peaceful and safe conduct. Despite logistical and cultural challenges, such as coinciding with religious festivities, India demonstrates high voter turnout. With its own peculiarities and an energetic democracy, the electoral process in this country continues to stand out as an example of the importance it places on its democratic system.
