Prime Minister Narendra Modi from the ruling Hindu nationalist BJP is seeking a second term. His main challenger is leader of the opposition Congress party, Rahul Gandhi. The election is the world's biggest, with 900 million voters eligible to vote. They have to elect 543 representatives to the Lower House of Parliament, called the Lok Sabha. The ruling BJP is accused of suppressing a government report that claims unemployment is at a 45-year high. This, even as the economy expands.
