Very early trends but Bihar is seeing a neck-to-neck between BJP+ and Con-RJD, unlike 1st two phases when BJP had runaway leads by now

Unlike the previous phases, the 7 Bihar constituencies polling today border WB and Muslims play a significant role in the voteshare. See Bihar phases.

Voted in South Mumbai - incredible rush, at our booth at least.
Had to wait for 40 minutes to vote. Very well organised, calm, helpful police and staff.
Older folk veering toward the Sena candidate to get Modi in to power, younger ones for the AAP or even NOTA. Milind Deora will have a tough fight here I reckon.

NDTV

Varanasi: Narendra Modi is wearing pristine white, but there is no lack of colour as Varanasi turns out in a celebration extraordinaire to cheer the BJP's prime ministerial candidate. (Track LIVE updates)

Thousands of BJP workers and supporters have washed the ancient city in saffron. But there is also the red of rose petals being showered from the terraces and windows of homes as Mr Modi's open truck crawls along the two-km route from Banaras Hindu University or BHU where he landed in a helicopter and the collectorate where he will file his nomination papers.

His vehicle, draped in the BJP's colours, has covered about 500 metres in the last two hours, so thick is the crowd of cheering people on the roads.

There are people everywhere in a carnival-like atmosphere, on terraces, on trees; those who have come in from other states are in traditional attire, holding up hundreds of flags with the BJP's lotus symbol.

At BHU, Mr Modi garlanded the statue of the university's founder Madan Mohan Malaviya whose grandson, a retired judge is among those who will propose his name. In a programme designed for symbolism, a singer, a weaver and a boatman are the other proposers.

On the streets are priests and even people dressed as Gods. A 'Hanuman' is waving a wave. The sound of conch shells punctuates the sloganeering.

Across town, hundreds of prayer ceremonies are being held to bring luck to Mr Modi.

The BJP leader is garlanding other statues on his way - freedom fighter Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and thinker Swami Vivekananda are leaders he avowedly follows and profusely quotes. Also a BR Ambedkar statue.

It is not just right to complain. I can understand people in better developed states voting for non NDA governments, why worry about the cook when the meal is fine, but I fail to understand this.
