Voting begins for a crucial state election in India’s capital with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist party trying to regain power after a 22-year gap and major victories in a national vote.

People wait for their turn to cast their vote at a polling station closest to the Shaheen Bagh protest where Muslim women have been protesting for weeks against a new citizenship law, in New Delhi, India, Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020. Voting began for a crucial state election in India's capital on Saturday with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist party trying to regain power after a 22-year gap and major victories in a national vote.

The polls pit Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party against the incumbent Aam Aadmi Party, or “common man’s” party, whose pro-poor policies have focused on fixing state-run schools and providing free health care and bus fares for women during the five years in power. Both of those actions have won him praise from supporters but little reward at the polls. BJP lost two important state elections last year.

Vote modi out! He is a disgrace and is taking India down the wrong path.

I hope who ever wins supports sanctuary for wildlife and frees the elephants in captivity. Freedom from exploitation. No chains, no bull whips no slaves.

National vote? It's a city voting for state elections. Get your facts right.

Modi is a dangerous dictator-in-waiting.
