INDIA-ELECTION

Indian bystanders, neighbours and media personnel surround the vehicle of Chief Minister of western Gujarat state and main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi as he leaves after meeting his mother Hira Ba at her home in Gandhinagar on May 16, 2014. India’s triumphant Hindu nationalists declared “the start of a new era” in the world’s biggest democracy as the ruling Congress conceded defeat in elections that exposed anger about sickly economic growth and rampant corruption.
