摘要

Science features prominently in the manifestos of the main political parties contesting India's month-long general election, which began on 16 April. The battle mainly involves two coalitions: the ruling left-of-centre United Progressive Alliance (UPA), led by the Indian National Congress (INC) party, and the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). A third group made up of regional and Communist parties also has growing support. The five rounds of elections to select the 543 members of the Lok Sabha (the lower house of parliament) will last until 13 May, with the winners announced on 16 May and the new government taking power by 2 June. Pollsters predict that no party will win an absolute majority and expect another coalition government, with current prime minister Manmohan Singh in the frame to serve a second term. Election promises made by the leading parties often fail to materialize, says physicist and former science minister M. G. K. Menon, although there have been significant exceptions in the past. "India's big leap in information technology today," he told Nature, "is the result of an election promise by the BJP in 1999, which was fulfilled during its rule."

G. K. Menon)表示,领导党做出的选举承诺通常无法兑现,尽管过去有很多例外。他告诉《自然》杂志,“印度今天在信息技术上的巨大飞跃,是印度人民党在1999年选举中作出承诺的结果,在其执政期间得以兑现。”
