NEW DELHI ? Two states in northern India with 20 million voters are choosing state assemblies in elections testing the popularity of the national government's ruling Congress party.
Paramilitary troops patrolled thousands of polling stations for the votes Monday in Punjab and Uttarakhand states.
In Punjab, often called India's bread basket, the Congress is trying to wrest power from a coalition including the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party. Results of the elections are not expected until March 6.
The biggest test for Congress will be elections starting next week in India's biggest state, Uttar Pradesh, which are viewed as a make or break moment for Congress Party leader Rahul Gandhi.
Gandhi has launched an intense campaign to dislodge the state's ruling party.
