A large-scale election campaign has begun in India, as almost a billion people out of the country's 1.42 billion population are eligible to vote.
According to the latest data, about 968 million citizens are eligible to vote, which is more than the population of countries such as the United States, the European Union and the Russian Federation combined.
According to analysts, the ruling Indian People's Party under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi may win, having previously gained support due to strong economic growth and the opening of a Hindu temple.
