What’s at stake for India as one billion people vote in the world's largest election | SBS News

India votes in the world's largest election as Prime Minister Narendra Modi seeks a historic third term in office on the back of growth, welfare, his personal popularity and Hindu nationalism.
The vote pits Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, widely considered a Hindu nationalist party, against an alliance of two dozen opposition parties.
The opposition parties are challenging him with promises of increased affirmative action, more handouts and what they say is the need to save democratic institutions from Modi's dictatorial rule.
