In India, the Indian Railways posted 90,000 job vacancies. 28 million candidates applied, which was about the entire equivalent of the British workforce. India’s general elections for the lower house of the Parliament started on April 11 and will conclude on May 23. The political party or the coalition of parties that wins a majority of the 545 seats will form the next government. The counting of votes will be conducted on 23 May, and on the same day the results will be declared. Under Indian law, the Election Commission criteria requires that the government must provide a polling station for every person within a two-kilometer radius of where they live. They had to set up a polling booth for just one man regardless of the cost.
