\ufeffFor more than a month, people across India have been voting in this year's general election. It\u2019s the largest the world has ever seen, and Prime Minister Nerendra Modi and his right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party are ahead in polls by a wide margin. A lot of Modi\u2019s support is coming from women \u2013 largely because they are in favor of his Hindu nationalist platform and because his party has encouraged women to work. He has also been able to reach young voters through his social media campaigning. 

But many see India\u2019s struggling economy and his Hindu nationalism as reasons to vote him out \u2013 particularly because attacks against Muslims have increased during his time in office. An alliance of more than two dozen parties is running against him, but they\u2019ve struggled to stay organized and make gains. 

Correspondent Karishma Mehrotra reports from New Delhi on what it\u2019s been like on the campaign trail and what it could mean to have Modi lead for a third term.
