India's Shyam Saran Negi ready for 16th general election

A 97-year-old man, who is among India's oldest voters, says he is getting ready to cast his ballot for a 16th time in a general election. Shyam Saran Negi is a retired teacher in northern Himachal Pradesh state. He has voted in every single election since 1951-52 - when India held its first general election after gaining independence from British rule. Indians began voting in a nine-phase election on Monday. Voting will take five weeks, with results due on 16 May. More than 814 million people are eligible to vote in a poll dominated by corruption and high inflation.
