Reporting from Uttar Pradesh
One of the constituencies voting today is Muzaffarnagar. It's located in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, which is politically the most important as it sends the maximum number of MPs to parliament.
Right from early in the morning when the polls opened, we’ve seen people filtering in. This commitment to the electoral process is ingrained in Indian culture, especially in rural areas.
Lines are building up now. We met Ambraesh who says that women’s safety is the most important issue for her.
Sahajkali, a 63-year-old labourer, said uppermost in her mind was rising prices as she cast her vote.
