REUTERSChildren hold India's ruling BJP party’s symbol before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's arrival to cast his vote, outside a polling station during the third phase of India general election, in Ahmedabad, India, May 7, 2024. REUTERSPrime Minister Narendra Modi voted early as India held the third phase of a massive general election on Tuesday, and called for a strong turnout although he warned of the scorching summer heat. Modi cast his ballot in the Gandhinagar constituency where his number two, Home Minister Amit Shah, is the BJP candidate. "Weather conditions are predicted to be within normal ranges," it said in a statement on the eve of the vote, calling on voters to "turn out in greater numbers at polling stations and vote with responsibility and pride". Music app Spotify has created an "election playlist" to motivate voters, and celebrities are being used to make appeals through radio and TV commercials, it said.
His Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is relying on the prime minister's popularity as it seeks a super-majority in India's parliament. But only once in Indian history has a party crossed the 400 mark - when the centre-left Congress party romped to victory following the assassination of its leader Indira Gandhi in 1984. "Modi wants a landslide majority only to be able to end the debate and deliberation on any policy matter in the parliament," Congress party president Mallikarjun Kharge told Reuters. Singh, a state minister responsible for urban development, told Reuters that his family's experiences gave him a better understanding of politics. India's non-partisan Election Commission routinely redraws seat boundaries to reflect population changes; it is tasked with ensuring that no political party gains undue advantage from the changes.
