Voters in key states and region in India began casting ballots Thursday in local elections seen as a test of support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his BJP Party. The elections pit BJP and its regional allies against a range of opposition parties. Assam and Puducherry are governed by the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, while Kerala is ruled by the opposition. Two other opposition-ruled states, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu will vote later this month. The results for all 5 regions are expected May 4. The polls come while the public is concerned about rising energy costs and tightening gas supplies due to the war in the Middle East.
