India will hold general elections in seven phases starting from Thursday, with about 900 million voters eligible to participate. Here are the key issues in the world’s biggest democratic exercise by DevjyotGhoshal IndiaElections2019
NEW DELHI - India will hold general elections in seven phases starting from Thursday, with about 900 million voters eligible to participate in the world’s biggest democratic exercise.
Better job opportunities are voters’ top priority, a survey of more than 270,000 people by electoral watchdog Association for Democratic Reforms has shown. The election manifesto of the main opposition Congress party promised a slew of measures to try and halve unemployment.Modi’s national security record was spotlighted by an aerial clash with arch foe Pakistan, triggered by a February suicide attack in disputed Kashmir that killed 40 Indian paratroopers and was claimed by an Islamist militant group based in the neighbor.
But surveys showed the hostilities, through February and March, appear to have boosted Modi’s support among voters. After losing power to Congress in three large farm states in December, the BJP government announced an annual handout of 6,000 rupees to small farmers in its February budget. This week its election manifesto vowed to roll that out to all farmers.
