PM Modi Seeks Historic Third Term as India Votes in Fourth Phase
India entered the fourth phase of its massive seven-week-long election on Monday, with campaign rhetoric intensifying over economic inequalities and religious tensions.
The world’s most populous democracy commenced voting on April 19, involving nearly one billion eligible voters, with the results slated to be announced on June 4.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, vying for an unprecedented third consecutive term, leads the charge for the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), facing off against a coalition of over two dozen opposition parties, prominently the Congress party.
The fourth phase sees voting for 96 parliamentary seats across 10 states and territories, with approximately 177 million individuals eligible to cast their votes. Notably, a significant number of seats are in the southern and eastern regions of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha, where the BJP’s influence is comparatively weaker.
