Answers
Answer:
Even before the dust settled in the electoral battlefield after the conclusion of five assembly elections earlier this year, political buzz around the next round of elections started. States such as Punjab and Uttar Pradesh will go to polls next year. 2018 will see Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan elect new governments, while in 2019, India will vote for the 17th Lok Sabha.
Elections in India have become a continuous process and political parties with stakes in various states are constantly preparing for one election or the other. This affects policymaking and governance as the government is trapped in short-term thinking. It is also a strain on the exchequer and puts pressure on political parties, especially smaller ones, as elections are becoming increasingly expensive.
