India’s national elections are really an aggregate of thirty different state elections, each influenced by its own local considerations, regional political currents, and different patterns of political incumbency. Soon after May 16, the largest single party that emerges will seek to construct a coalition out of a diverse array of victors from the various states.
印度的全国大选实际上有点类似于30个州选举的总和。每一个州都受到自己地方势力的影响，地区政治的考量和不同政体的组成模式等也会起到一定的作用。在5月16日大选结束以后，获得选票最多的政党将会在不同的州寻求获胜的政治联盟联合组阁。
