NEW DELHI — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist party was trying to regain power in the federal territory that includes New Delhi on Wednesday as residents voted in a state legislature election. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party hasn’t won the territory that includes India’s capital of 20 million people in over a quarter-century.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP party is set to win an election in the Delhi capital territory, TV exit polls projected on Wednesday, in a rebound after its surprisingly poor showing in a general election last year.

Millions of people in the Indian capital braved "very poor" air quality on Wednesday to vote in a state election in which prime minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist BJP party sought to unseat a popular opposition leader.

As Delhi votes for the 2025 Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has appealed to citizens to actively participate in the democratic process. He urged voters to exercise their right and contribute to strengthening democracy.
