Picture

Indian voters wait in line to exercise their franchise at a polling station at Domjur, some 30kms west of Kolkata yesterday. The second phase of five phases of voting in 294 state assembly constituencies has started under tight security in India's Marxist bastion of West Bengal, where leftist parties are expected to win big and gain strength on the national scene.
