Indians cast final ballots yesterday in a record election that saw 551 million people vote over five weeks, with exit polls predicting a new right-wing government under Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi.
The final phase of voting in 41 constituencies ended at 6:00 pm (1230 GMT), with four out of five exit polls released soon afterwards pointing to a narrow majority for Modi´s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies.
