"India's Historic 2024 Multiphase General Election Unveiled"

India's election commission has announced that the country's general election, set to be the largest democratic election in history, will take place from April 19 to June 1, with results to be announced on June 4. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is expected to secure another five years in power, amid increasing polarization along religious lines. The main opposition, Indian National Congress, is struggling to regain national significance, and cracks have emerged in its alliance with other parties. Under Modi's leadership, India has made significant strides in economic growth and global influence, but concerns have been raised about the BJP's Hindu-nationalist policies and their impact on minorities and democratic institutions.
