Modi bids for historic third term in world’s biggest election
New Delhi | Millions of Indians began voting on Friday in a six-week election, regarded as a referendum on Narendra Modi, the populist prime minister who has championed an assertive brand of Hindu nationalist politics and is seeking a rare third term as the country’s leader.
The voters began queuing up at polling stations hours before they were allowed in at 7am in the first 21 states to hold votes, from the Himalayan mountains to the tropical Andaman Islands.
