Democracy at Crossroads: Crucial general elections to shape India’s future

Bikaner, Apr 19 (EFE).- With nearly one billion eligible voters set to engage in India's monumental seven-phased general elections that began on Friday, the country, hailed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as “the mother of democracy,” stands at a critical juncture.

The outcome will determine whether Modi secures a possible third term in a row or if the reins of power shift to an opposition coalition rallying to safeguard what they perceive as a “democracy in peril.” (Camera: HUGO BARCIA).
