India is holding the world’s biggest election, with nearly 970 million people eligible to vote. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hopes to win a third term in this marathon election.
The election is crucial as Modi’s party aims to secure more power and push its policies further. However, critics say these policies have increased inequality and religious tensions in the country.
Modi has focused on infrastructure and economic growth during his time in office. Still, issues like unemployment and discrimination remain.
The opposition party, Indian National Congress, promises to protect democratic values and improve rights for the minors and women.
Voting will take place in seven phases over six weeks. This massive process involves voters from all walks of life, from bustling cities to remote villages.
