NEW DELHI - Tens of millions of Indians will begin queuing on Thursday to cast their ballots in the first phase of a mammoth general election at which Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seen as the front-runner, campaigning on his national security record.
Pollsters say Modi’s ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party has been riding high on his tough stance against Pakistan, after aerial clashes between the nuclear-armed neighbours followed a February attack by an Islamist militant group that killed 40 Indian paratroopers in disputed Kashmir. “The gap between Congress and the BJP is still enormous, so no one is seriously thinking that Congress is going to fill that gap,” he added. “The opposition landscape remains heavily fragmented.”
In the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, which sends more lawmakers to parliament than any other, Ajesh Kumar, who runs a roadside restaurant, said he voted for the BJP in 2014, when Hindu-Muslims riots in the area killed at least 65 people, and would do so again.that show Modi's government has failed to create enough jobs for the burgeoning workforce in a population of 1.3 billion.
