Has the economy suffered under Modi? His party points to popular moves like cleaning up finance but rivals say many go hungry. Neville Lazarus explores the economy's highs and lows as the final stage of India's elections takes place.

Mukesh, a 22-year-old from Munak in the northern state of Haryana, shows Sky News the scars all over his body he says are from torture in a Russian prison. He alleges prison guards stubbed their cigarettes out on him and regularly beat him up for months while he was incarcerated. Mukesh is one of the many young men from Haryana who have taken dangerous journeys in search of work abroad.

Main opposition leader Rahul Gandhi is tenacious in his attack on Modi's economic policy. Setting out his own at a political rally in Delhi, he said: 'We will waive farmer debts, give them a minimum support price for products, increase wages for workers, and will double the pay of women health workers. 'For the youth, our first decision will be to give three million government jobs.' The crowd responded with loud cheers.
