| Many in India are watching national elections with concern, as a Hindu nationalist is expected to be elected prime minister. Some Christians are concerned that if Modi, prime ministerial candidate for the BJP, wins the election as expected, religious freedoms will be restricted and persecution of Christians may increase. Elections began on April 7, and results are expected by May 16. Although some Christians are fearful, many are resting in God's sovereignty. One Christian worker from India said the elections are "irrelevant to the progress of the gospel. ... God is in control, not Congress Party or BJP." |
