Thinamol congress in her ruling state west bengal is planning for a role at the national level. 

And the chief minister of Odisha Mr.Navin Patnaik is not willing to support UPA though he 

is not desided to join with NDA , although hopefully of foming an third federal front.  

According to the Electoral Commission of India, the electoral force is 81.45 crores in 2014. 

There is an increase of 10 crores new voters added in voters list . It will be the longest and 

most cost of general elections in the history of the country with the electoral commission in 

India in the elections that will cost of the Rs.3,500 crores, except for expenses incurred with 

respect to security, various political parties. The parties expected to spend 30,500 crores in 

the election, according to the Center for Media Studies. This is three times the amount spent 

during the previous elections in the world is the second highest after US$ 7 billion has been 

on the 2012 elections of the United States.
