India conducted the second phase of its massive election on Friday, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his opponents engaging in a heated exchange of accusations related to religious discrimination and threats to democracy. Despite the escalating tensions, voter turnout has been lower than expected.
The campaign intensified following the initial phase of voting on April 19, with Modi and the Congress party clashing over communal issues. Modi has alleged that Congress is biased towards minority Muslims, seeking to undermine affirmative action policies and proposing an inheritance tax.
The election, considered the largest in the world, has captured global attention due to the high stakes involved. The outcome will not only determine the leadership of India but also shape the country's future trajectory on various socio-political fronts.
As the election progresses, the rhetoric between the competing parties continues to intensify, reflecting the deep-seated divisions within Indian society. The focus on religious and economic issues underscores the significance of this electoral battle for the nation's diverse population.
