Final phase of India election as Modi fights for seat

VARANASI: Voters headed to the polls Monday in the final phase of India's marathon election, with hardliner Narendra Modi expected to lead his Hindu nationalists to victory after 10 years of Congress party rule.

Modi, of the right-wing opposition Bharatiya Janata Party, was vying to win a seat in the Hindu holy city of Varanasi five weeks after the start of the world's biggest election, which has been marred by religious divisions and personal attacks.
