'The Hindu-Muslim divide is worse here now'

Voting has ended in key state elections being seen as a major test for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

One of the states that voted is Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous and politically influential. Mr Modi’s BJP party is making a strong push to win the state against an opposition determined to check his growing power.

But as Sanjoy Majumder reports from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, the political battle is also making the state’s Muslim minority very nervous.
