On Friday, April 19, India commenced its grand general election, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi aiming for an unprecedented third term. As early as 7:00 a.m., a colorful spectrum of voters, including Bollywood superstar Rajinikanth and a bride in her wedding attire, queued at polling stations to participate in this democratic exercise. This election, involving close to one billion voters, is scheduled to proceed in seven phases, covering the extensive and diverse landscape of India, and will conclude on June 1 with the vote count set for June 4.
The first phase of the election involves 102 constituencies spread across 21 states and territories. It's a crucial moment that underscores the fierce rivalry between Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and a coalition of opposition parties. These opponents are actively advocating for enhanced social welfare programs and pressing for necessary democratic reforms, pitching their policies as vital for the nation’s progress.
