In many ways this is a significant election for India: after 10 years in office, the incumbent Congress is facing a rout and the frontrunner is the opposition BJP, though its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, is not exactly everyone’s favourite man. There's also a political newbie, the Aam Aadmi party, that's eyeing 5-10% of the vote.
With a potential change in government, politicians are being forced to listen to their constituents, so we've been asking Guardian readers to tell us, via GuardianWitness, what issues they want a new government to tackle. We'll be looking at four key concerns, discussing why they are important and how the main political parties intend to address them.
Pollution
Pollution is one of the big issues in India and a set of photos uploaded by one of our contributors, ID2363654, highlights the problem in Varanasi.

The Ganges, although regarded as holy, is a public health nightmare. Full of pollutants, mainly from raw sewage,as well as decaying corpses, does not deter people from bathing, washing clothes and even drinking the water.The government needs to address public health issues in general including TB, malaria and diarrheal disease.

I visited Varanasi for the first time in 1980s. I still have a faint recollection of a boat ride, which was – and still is – considered a must-do by tourists, despite the pitiable state of the river. The experience was shocking. The next time I visited the teeming city was in late 2012. I was on an assignment and a local contact insisted on a boat ride. So we hopped on to a boat owned by a young man called Arun. It was dark and so much of what was floating in the river was not visible (thankfully).
I spotted boatloads of foreign tourists taking photographs of cremations taking place on the riverbanks. A few boats (“special ones,” said Arun) even had guides giving running commentary on what was happening on the banks. “Much of what will be left of those cremations will go into the river,” said Arun. “So many people, like washermen, depend on the river for their livelihoods. Now the government wants them out. It’s a very difficult situation,” he added. “This pollution is killing, so many people suffer from skin diseases."

Explanation:
- It is a big election for India in many ways: after 10 years in office, the ruling Congress is facing a landslide and the front runner is the opposition BJP, while its prime ministerial nominee, Narendra Modi, is not necessarily the favorite of everyone. There's also a political newbie that's targeting 5-10 percent of the electorate, the Aam Aadmi party.
- Politicians are being pushed to listen to their constituents with a possible shift of policy, so we've been asking Guardian readers to tell us, through GuardianWitness, what problems they want a new government to fix. We are going to look at four primary issues, explore why they are relevant and how the major political parties plan to tackle them.
