Lok Sabha polls: Voting is under way for 91 seats in 11 states and three Union territories
  • 5 years ago
The 2014 election battle truly began today as a large chunk of the country, accounting for 91 seats, is voting. The BJP will need the Modi effect to build momentum, while the Congress will be pressed to minimize the predicted damage.

Moderate to brisk voting was today witnessed in Delhi as 52 per cent of the nearly 1.27 crore electorate exercised their franchise during the first four hours in the Lok Sabha polls where Congress, BJP and AAP are engaged in a tough contest.
Vice President Hamid Ansari, Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal were among the early voters in the election to the seven Lok Sabha seats in Delhi.

The Lok Sabha elections here are seen as test of Aam Aadmi Party's perceived erosion of support base, BJP's claim of having a 'Modi wave' besides assertion by Congress that it was regaining lost ground after suffering massive defeat in assembly polls in December. Union Minister Kapil Sibal, Delhi BJP Chief Harsh Vardhan, Congress General Secretary Ajay Maken, Delhi's Chief Electoral Officer Vijay Dev were also among the early voters.
