At 1 pm, Pradum Vishwakarma, a 22-year-old college student in Uttar Pradesh, is dressed like he's going to class - a white shirt and trousers. Except there's a plastic lotus, pinned to his shirt. Mr Vishwakarma is in a green, rickety bus that is taking 30 people from his village in Barabanki to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rally, a one-hour drive away. He is a volunteer with the Rashtryia Swayamsewak Sangh or RSS, which is the ideological mentor of Mr Modi's party, the BJP. He was tasked to deliver at least 20 people from his village for today's rally. He has managed 30, and says in any case, the Prime Minister has already done enough to ensure a victory in the complex UP election.
