| Video Discription | (25 Nov 2014) Voters in Indian Kashmir lined up outside polling stations on Tuesday to cast their votes on the first day of the five-phase state elections. 15 constituencies in Jammu, Ladakh and India-controlled Kashmir are going to the polls in the first phase amid boycott calls by Muslim separatists who reject India's sovereignty over the disputed Himalayan region. The elections are to be held in five phases through until December 23 in a staggered process that allows the government to deploy thousands of troops to each area in an attempt to prevent violence or anti-India protests. The voting will elect a local government - a chief minister who will serve as the state's top official and a council of ministers . Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, BJP, has been campaigning heavily ahead of elections and is, for the first time, eyeing power in the India's only Muslim-majority state. Thousands of paramilitary soldiers and police officers patrolled near polling stations as voting opened in villages and towns in the region. Separatist groups have been fighting since 1989 for the region's independence from India or merger with Pakistan. Both India and Pakistan claim the region in its entirety, although it's divided between them.
