The elections directly or indirectly impact the weaker sections of the the society in India. Though during the past few years India has shown remarkable progress, the leap in population refrains the weaker society from the advantages that come our way. Moreover, it has been observed the grown of population is more among them which can be attributed to lack of education, awareness and poverty.

Every election costs millions and millions which has a direct bearing on their life. Inflation and increase in taxes make it difficult for them to meet their basic needs. Not only scheduled polls, rather unprecedented mid-term polls make the situation worse. Frequent election result in delay in decision making as far as weaker society is concerned.

Due to their ignorance they fall a prey to the candidates who exploit them for getting votes and, unable to foresee the result of it, they select the candidate who may not be deserving. As a result, the vicious circle goes on and they can never come out of their plight.

If we have to make our democracy, the largest democracy in the world, successful, first we need to empower this group of society, for till people are weak, till people are hungry, till people are dominated and exploited for political interest, can't see our democracy as an efficient system that ensures and protects the rights of every individual.
