In India, voting began today in the general elections, which are being held in seven phases, until June 1, and in more than a million polling stations across the country.

A total of 968 million Indians are to elect 543 members of the lower house of parliament.
Ballots across the country will be counted on June 4, and results are usually announced the same day.
Modi, 73, is very popular after two terms in office, during which India has increased its diplomatic influence and economic importance.
Several key opposition parties have formed alliances in many Indian states to oppose Narendra Modi's party.
The election campaign was marked by the issues of the job crisis, rising prices, pressure on the opposition and the politics of religion.
