NEW DELHI - India began counting hundreds of millions of votes in its general election on Thursday, with a coalition led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s party already preparing to form the next government.
Counting of the more than 600 million votes began at 8 a.m. local time and trends were expected to be known by noon. Final results are due by Thursday evening. “National security became the discussion,” said Harsh Pant, a political analyst at the Observer Research Foundation think-tank in New Delhi. “It allowed the BJP to shirk some issues where it was weak.”
“The longer election certainly helps Modi: he loves contact with the people,” Pant said. “The BJP’s electoral machinery is also much more effective on the ground.”The NDA held a meeting on Tuesday, at which Modi was garlanded with flowers by members of the alliance, to discuss its policy agenda for its second term in power. It has promised to double farmers’ income and boost infrastructure spending over the next five years.
The opposition alliance has also protested to the Election Commission over the electronic voting machines used in the count, which they alleged could be tampered with, and requested a delay to counting while votes were tallied with a backup paper audit trail.
600 million votes. Wow.
a paper election in the USA would be impossible, there are far too many votes to count... once.

Modi proclaims a cleaner India, but the reality may be more murkyEvery morning around dawn, dozens of people gather by the dusty banks of a strea... Best is he attempted to make such 'Cleaner India' which he succeeded too in this short period! Nobody gave any shit before that.. Prime Minister Modi is still in power even after losing the air war with Pakistan? Amazing. He must have old friends in power that are as old as India’s warplanes. Extraordinarily idiotic reporting even by standards. 'Many people in north and south India told Reuters that a lack of toilets near fields where farmers spend their day' Somebody traveling in the wilderness would defecate in the open if nature calls.
