India votes in fifth phase of election including in city where PM opened controversial Hindu temple
Millions of Indians across 49 constituencies began casting ballots on Monday as the country’s six-week-long election enters its final stages with voting also being held in northern Ayodhya city, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi opened a controversial Hindu temple on the site of a razed mosque. Monday’s polling in the fifth round of multi-phase national elections across six states and two union territories is crucial for Modi’s ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party as it includes some of its strongholds in states like Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. The polls in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya are seen as a litmus test for Modi's Hindu-first politics, as he has hailed the opening of the Hindu temple as his government's crowning achievement.
