To accommodate the magnitude of expected voters, the democratic elections will be carried out in 7 phases. India has a population of 1.3 billion people and growing. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, leader of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is seeking reelection for another five-year term and has been running extensive political campaigns throughout the nation over the past months.

However, Since PM Modi took the office, violence by right-wing Hindu groups has increased.
