Description

Anyone studying elections to the Indian Parliament since the country attained independence will find this volume to be an invaluable research and reference sourcebook. The book brings together in one volume electoral statistics relating to the eight Lok Sabha elections, and all the by-elections, held during the period 1952-1985. The authors have provided data on voter turnout, the vote and seat shares of political parties, and the party affiliations of the candidates. Since constituencies remain unaltered between the decennial censuses, the authors have presented detailed constituency results for pairs of elections (except the 1952 election). This allows the user to compare the performance of parties and candidates at the constituency level.
