Vote counting under way in Indian state election that is key test for Modi

Vote counting is underway in the Indian state of Bihar as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) seeks to retain power with its alliance partner. The election saw a record turnout of 66.91%, with several exit polls predicting a victory for the BJP. Bihar, a key political landscape with over 74 million voters, is significant as one of the few states where Modi's party has not independently formed a government yet. The outcome will also set the stage for upcoming state elections in West Bengal, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, where the BJP aims to expand its influence.
