Voter turnout falls in India’s general election

Voting has taken place in the second stage of India’s general election. The election had lower voter turnout than expected. Voters casted their ballots as part of seven rounds of staggered polls. India's current Prime Minister Narendra Modi is seeking a third straight term on the back of his economic record, strong policies, and personal popularity. His opponent Rahul Gandhi has attacked the Prime Minister, calling him a threat to democracy.
