India to go to polls from April 11, Pakistan tension may boost Modi

NEW DELHI - India will hold a general election in seven stages starting on April 11, the election commission said on Sunday, in what will be the world’s biggest democratic exercise with Prime Minister Narendra Modi likely to benefit from tensions with Pakistan.

Until a few weeks ago, a shortage of jobs and weak farm prices were seen denting Modi’s popularity. But pollsters say his ruling Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party now has a clear advantage after India’s armed forces clashed with those of arch-rival Pakistan last month, triggering a wave of patriotic fervor across the country of 1.3 billion.

Earlier surveys released in January, before the most recent tension with Pakistan, showed the BJP and its allies emerging as the largest group in the election but falling short of a majority. Aerial confrontations between the nuclear-armed nations ensued and, although questions have been raised about how effective the Indian military action actually was, Modi’s approval rating soared.

Arora, the chief election commissioner, said three special observers would be deployed in the northern Jammu and Kashmir state, where India is battling multiple insurgencies and where elections are usually marred by violence. Votes will be counted on May 23, he said.

Be it killing 300 terrorists or Be it shooting down F16. Hence the election looks in danger for Modi as of now. Lets see if he can divert the people's will towards him in coming days or not. 2/2 Lots of love from Pakistan..

he has failed to make people believe he has done somethng enough. that's because India was unable to prove their so called surgical strike over Pakistan that they claimed on february 27. And whatevr they said, they didn't have anything to show in order to prove their sayings, 1/2

Reuter’s are also Dalla

Another bearded lunatic?
