Supporters hold up a sign in Tamil at a campaign rally with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu on April 10.
Under the scorching afternoon sun, a helicopter ferrying Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched down last week in territory that’s long resisted his reign. Outside the southern city of Coimbatore, India’s premier ascended a stage for an election rally that drew thousands of spectators.
India’s national vote kicks off on Friday and Modi is widely expected to win a historic third term after a potential billion ballots are cast. Yet in southern India, victory is far from assured.
