The three women hoping to upset PM Modi at the 2019 polls

NEW DELHI: India’s alpha-male PM Modi faces three formidable women looking to spoil his chances of winning a new term in elections beginning next week.
AFP profiles them here: – ‘Big sis’ – Feisty and fiery Mamata Banerjee is the first female chief minister of the eastern state of West Bengal — home to more people than Germany — where Modi’s right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) needs to do well.
The diminutive 64-year-old is one of Modi’s most vociferous critics and has been working to cobble together an anti-Modi alliance.
“We can tell you one thing, that we are altogether against the BJP government to save the nation,” she says.
