6 weeks long.
Even The Ultra Poor Folks can Vote.
[The world’s largest ever election has
started in India, with voters in 20
states casting their ballots in the
first phase of a marathon six-week poll.
The contest in the
vast country of 1.3 billion people
is dominated by local issues but also
viewed as a referendum on
the prime minister, Narendra Modi,
a staunch Hindu nationalist who
rode a wave of popularity five
years ago to become the first leader
of a majority government in decades.]
