India is a
democratic country and the Indians have a right to choose their leaders for the
nation as well as for the diverse states. Some of the positions in the
parliament and state legislative are selected by the leaders themselves, but
most of it is selected by the citizens of India. As Abraham Lincoln said the
Government is “by the people, for the people, and to the people”. The meaning
of this phrase is so powerful and motivating which explains the true meaning of
the democratic country.
Every state
has their own polling system and there are elections conducted to choose
different positions such as a Chief Minister, MLA's, MP's, and others. To vote
