Rekha Devi, wife of Tuntun Sada, a laborer, drinks water outside her hut, in a village on the outskirts of Samastipur, in the Indian state of Bihar, on May 12, 2024. Devi says "After the voting is over, nobody is going to ask about the poor, if we are dead or alive, if we get water or have food grains or not. Can the poor survive only by eating sand from the roadside? We have neither land for farming nor a house to live." (AP Photo/Manish Swarup)
