NEW DELHI: Millions of Indians are voting in the third and largest phase of the general election on Tuesday. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi cast his ballot from his home state of Gujrat and underlined the need to combat “terrorism”.

Modi first met his mother early in the morning and then rode in an open jeep, surrounded by hundreds of onlookers, to cast his vote shortly after 8 a.m.

“IED is a weapon of terrorism, and voter ID is a weapon of democracy,” he told reporters after voting, referring to improvised explosive devices and voter identification cards.

“I believe the voter ID is much more powerful than an IED.”
