Besides his developmental agenda, Modi also tried to ensure victory for his party riding on his popularity. A biopic "Prime Minister Narendra Modi" was produced and was to be released on April 11, but the country's Election Commission imposed a temporary ban on its release till the polls are over, saying it would "disturb the level-playing field" during the elections.

STIFF COMPETITION

However, Modi also faces a fierce competition from the opposition parties, led by the Indian National Congress (INC).

The Modi government has been accused by the opposition of not fulfilling its promises made prior to the 2017 elections. It also faced criticism for not being able to resolve farmers' woes and minority communities living in fear amid violence over issues like beef eating and intolerance among the majority Hindu community towards the minorities.

INC President Rahul Gandhi has been accusing the Modi-led National Democratic Alliance government of non-performance.

Gandhi said on Thursday that the Modi government failed in generating employment and depositing 1.5 million Indian rupees in every citizen's bank accounts as the BJP had promised before the 2017 polls, and that it failed to remove farmers' miseries and was also indulged in corruption.
