CAMPAIGNING ENDS IN 102 LS SEATS IN 21 STATES, UTs
The Daily Guardian|April 18, 2024
Voting in the first phase of polls is on Friday

Campaigning ended Wednesday evening for 102 Lok Sabha seats across 21 states and Union territories which will go to polls in the first phase on April 19 with top leaders of the BJP-led NDA and the Opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc making a last-gasp effort to woo voters.

Leading the charge, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took whirlwind tours of various constituencies in the past few days, addressing rallies and holding roadshows, and asserting that he went to people with hope in 2014, trust in 2019 and guarantee in 2024. Many times he said there is “Modi’s guarantee across the country and I am giving the guarantee of fulfilling all these guarantees”.

Home Minister Amit Shah, defense minister Rajnath Singh and several of their cabinet colleagues, leaders of the Congress such as Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, and other parties also canvassed for their candidates.

The BJP has come out all guns blazing at the I.N.D.I.A bloc over corruption, dynasty politics and insulting the Constitution and Hinduism.
