If Modi returns to power, he might have to drop the Hindutva project

Ordinary Indian voters do not see Narendra Modi as wicked. They believe it is because of him that such things as toilets, gas connections and loans to build homes have become available to them.

An election that has seemed unending ends today. Mercifully. One more week of angry rhetoric and voters may have begun to organise protests against democracy. Next time dear Election Commission find a way to identify trouble spots and make special arrangements. But, let the rest of India vote on a single day. And, please pay heed to the Prime Minister’s suggestion that we begin holding elections for Parliament and the state legislatures at the same time. It is an idea whose time has come.
