India’s massive election faces heatwave challenge in penultimate phase

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.

Officials are concerned that the heatwave in parts of northern India, including Delhi and neighboring Haryana state, could discourage voters from going to the polls and standing in lines, in an election earlier marked by low turnout. Rahul Gandhi is contesting elections in the southern state of Kerala and the family bastion of Raebareli in Uttar Pradesh, both of which have already voted. India allows people to contest more than one seat but they can retain only one if they win.

Modi called on people, especially women and youth, to “vote in large numbers” in a message on social media platform X on Saturday morning. “Democracy thrives when its people are engaged and active in the electoral process.”
