Record Turnout in State Assembly Elections in UP, Punjab, Uttarkhand
LUCKNOW: Millions of voters went to the polls in India’on Wednesday, the first phase of an election that tests support for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s troubled government ahead of a nationwide vote in two years. The election in Uttar Pradesh, a state that would be the world’s fifth most populous nation if independent, could have a bearing on who next governs India. It is a closely fought four-way race pitting the scion of the elite Gandhi dynasty against a powerful low caste leader and two other parties. Rahul Gandhi of the central government’s Congress party has staked his political reputation on reviving the party in a state it has not ruled for 22 years.
