Скачать или смотреть Kashmir votes in 4th phase of India election

(29 Apr 2019) Security was tight as voters went to the ballots in the India-administered part of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir on Monday to participate in the fourth phase of a staggered national election.
Voting was being held in nine states in India.
The remaining three phases will be completed by May 19, and vote counting begins May 23.
Even before Monday, more than half of India's 543 parliamentary constituencies had already voted in the election, which began April 11.
With 900 million of India's 1.3 billion people registered to vote, the election is the world's largest democratic exercise.
During the election campaign, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party have adopted aggressive nationalism, using the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir to pivot away from his economic record and playing up the threat of rival Pakistan.
The approach was employed especially after a suicide bombing in Kashmir on Feb. 14 killed 40 soldiers, causing brief fighting with Pakistan and allowing Modi to portray himself as a strong, uncompromising leader on national security.
