was widely tipped to win India 's election on Tuesday , in what would be a triumph for his Hindu nationalist drive that has thrown the opposition into disarray and deepened concerns for minority rights.
Observers believe his appeals to growing Hindu nationalist sentiment will give him a third term in power. Kejriwal, 55, was detained in March over a long-running corruption probe, but was later released and allowed to campaign as long as he returned to custody once voting ended. Modi himself made a number of strident comments about Muslims on the campaign trail, referring to them as"infiltrators".The polls were staggering in their size and logistical complexity, with voters casting their ballots in megacities New Delhi and Mumbai, as well as in sparsely populated forest areas and in the high-altitude territory of Kashmir.
In past years, key trends have been clear by mid-afternoon with losers conceding defeat, even though full and final results may only come late on Tuesday night.
