Nearly 970 million Indians are voting in general elections amidst severe weather exacerbated by climate change, causing loss of livelihood, migration, and tough living conditions. Voters are seeking leaders who promise stability and resilience against climate impacts. Major political parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party and Congress, have pledged climate action in their manifestos, but climate change has been largely absent from the campaign trail.
