YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

India is holding the largest democratic election in history. It stretches over a period of 45 days. The election kicked off a week ago with the first of seven election phases. Now phase two is getting underway with polling across 13 States and union territories. A total of 88 seats in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Indian Parliament, are being contested.

Incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking a rare third term. His Hindu-nationalist BJP party is also aiming for a super-majority, which could empower his coalition to change the constitution. Modi's challengers in the INDIA alliance are seeking to end his rule, but are struggling to find a message that resonates. DW’s Adil Bhat went to two neighboring constituencies in northern India to get a taste of what's at stake.
