Who says India is a poor country. If you look at the money being spent on the Lok Sabha election in India you will be taken aback. It is almost twice more than that in America. It is estimated that almost 18 thousand crores will be spent in the current Lok Sabha elections, whereas only 10 thousand crores were spent in the last American campaign. Besides, political parties and candidates spend crores of rupees on campaigning. In India a candidate spends 3-5 crores on his election campaign and if the rival is strong enough, it may go to 10 crores. Almost 5 lakhs are spent a day and in the last week of campaign it may go to 15-20 lakhs. According to an UNI report, some leaders confirmed that spending 3-5 crores on election campaign is not uncommon. It is said that the party gives one crore to every candidate and this money is spent on election campaign and rallies.
