Millions of Indians are voting in the next-to-last round of a grueling national election in the searing summer heat.
Millions of Indians voted Saturday in the next-to-last round of a grueling national election with a combined opposition trying to rattle Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s campaign for a third-consecutive term for himself and his Hindu nationalist party. Many people lined polling stations before the start of voting at 7 a.m. to avoid the blazing sun at the peak of Indian summer. The temperature soared to 109 degrees Fahrenheit in the afternoon in the Indian capital.
Several houses and shops were burned in the area, the Press Trust of India news agency quoted Banerjee as saying. Suvendu Adhikari, a BJP leader in the state, accused Trinamool members of attacking and killing an activist on Thursday, an accusation rejected by his rivals, the news agency reported. Kidwai, the analyst, said the election was closer than expected after the opposition challenged Modi by centering its campaign narrative on social justice and rising unemployment.
