Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is seeking a rare third consecutive term, voted Tuesday in the third phase of a massive general election.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi voted early on Tuesday as India held the third phase of a massive general election, when seats in his home state of Gujarat and 10 other regions will be decided. The world’s most populous nation began voting on April 19 in a seven-phase election in which nearly one billion people are eligible to vote, with ballots set to be counted on June 4.
Ahmed, 30, said his basic concerns included bad roads and poor drainage systems in the state capital, Guwahati. Modi changed his campaign strategy after the first phase of voting and focused more on firing up BJP’s Hindu base by attacking rivals as pro-Muslim, even as a survey said jobs and inflation were the main concerns of voters.
