LS Election LIVE Updates | India Bloc Wants To Destroy India's Nuclear Weapons: PM Modi In Barmer

Lok Sabha Polls 2024 LIVE Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today held multiple rallies to woo voters.

Lok Sabha Polls 2024 LIVE Updates: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed multiple rallies in the run up to the Lok Sabha Elections. He addressed a rally in Uttarkhand as well. Ahead of his address, CM Pushkar Singh Dhami greeted the PM with a Damru. PM Modi was also felicitated by BJP women leaders at the venue of his public meeting in Rishikesh. Later today, PM Modi is set to galvanize support for the BJP candidate Indu Devi Jatav at the Vijay Shankhnad Rally in Karauli, Rajasthan. On the other hand, the Congress party accused Modi government of widespread corruption, inflation and unemployment.

Simultaneously, Rahul Gandhi is slated to energize the Congress base by addressing gatherings in Anupgarh and Phalodi, which fall under the Bikaner and Jodhpur Lok Sabha constituencies, respectively. These engagements are critical as both constituencies have been BJP strongholds for the past two terms.

The Prime Minister’s visit doesn’t end with Karauli; he will continue to campaign in Rajasthan with a rally in Barmer and a roadshow in Dausa on Friday.  Despite winning the seat in 2019, the BJP faced a setback in the last year’s Assembly elections, securing fewer votes than the Congress across the eight Assembly seats within this Lok Sabha constituency.
