INDIA-ELECTION

Vice President of the Indian National Congress party and Chairperson of the Indian Youth Congress Rahul Gandhi (L) addresses supporters during an election rally in Bangalore on April 7, 2014. Indians began voting in the world's biggest election, which is set to sweep the Hindu nationalist opposition to power at a time of low growth, anger over corruption and warnings about religious unrest. The 814-million-strong electorate is forecast to inflict a punishing defeat on the Congress party after its decade-long rule and elect the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by conservative hardliner Narendra Modi.
