DAY 389

Election day in Delhi! This is the polling station in the colony where we live. Apparently there was quite an atmosphere, with empty roads throughout the city. I was sorry to be missing it as I was still in England (photo taken by Ed). The results of the election won't be announced until around the 20th of May. It's been really interesting talking to people about their views on Narendra Modi who is tipped to win with his party the BJP. Most people think he's a corrupt crook with blood on his hands for the Gujarat atrocities in 2002 (more on this here), but others think he's no worse than any other politician and deserves a stab at the job. Almost everyone I have spoken to is sick of the Congress Party who have been in power since 2004.
