AHMEDABAD, India: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be among tens of millions of people to cast ballots as India holds a 'Super Tuesday' of voting in its marathon election.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi holds a canvas displaying a portrait of himself during an election rally in Chittorgarh, in the western state of Rajasthan. Modi will vote in his home state of Gujarat on"Super Tuesday". This election is seen as a referendum on his five-year rule - which has seen impressive economic growth but not the jobs that the BJP promised.

Indian residents put up posters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on their homes in Ahmedabad ahead of the third phase of the country's general election. Election results are to be released on May 23 and analysts say Modi is not expected to see a repeat of the BJP's 2014 performance, when they won 282 seats.
