Indian prime minister candidate uses HOLOGRAM to address hundreds of rallies across nation at the same time

Nerendra Modi is widely predicted to be the next Indian prime minister



His BJP party is likely to require the support of smaller parties to govern

Modi has attacked the 'dynasty politics' of the rival Congress party led by Rahul Gandhi



Indian nationalist leader Nerendra Modi used a high-tech hologram to appear at public meetings across dozens of rural areas at the same time in a bid to garner votes.

The leader of the BJP party used the ingenious method as a way of talking to some of India's 814 million electorate.



Such is the size of the country that the elections run over a period of six weeks to allow all voters to be able to cast their ballots.

Mr Modi's campaign has embraced social media and the 63-year-old politician even posted a selfie on Twitter soon after casting his vote in his native Gujarat.



He used a hologram to speak to voters in rural hamlets normally by-passed by India's election process.



But, according to opinion polls, Mr Modi's BJP party is likely to replace the ruling Congress party.



Mr Modi attacked his opponents claiming: 'The prime minister himself is not fighting the election. The finance minister is not fighting the election. All its top leaders have run away.

The polls predict that the Congress party will suffer its worst election defeat since securing independence from Britain in 1947.



However, it is expected that Mr Modi will require the support of some smaller parties if he wishes to head the next government.

Nida Ali of Oxford Economics said: ' The BJP is unlikely to win an outright majority. Given the deep roots of India's current predicament and the type of reforms required to turn the economy around, investors' optimism about an economic bounce-back appears unfounded.'

The ruling Congress party has faced serious criticism over the levels of corruption in Indian society where 'graft' is seen as endemic.



The Congress Party is led by Rahul Gandhi - great-grandson of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
