Lok Sabha Polls 2024 Live Updates: JP Nadda says PM Modi moving ahead with focus on 'GYAN'
"PM Modi pledges statehood for Jammu and Kashmir, criticizes opposition's Navratri conduct. Lok Sabha campaign intensifies nationwide
Prime Minister Narendra Modi made significant announcements during a public rally in Jammu’s Udhampur, part of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s campaign for the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections. Promising statehood for Jammu and Kashmir soon, he also assured that assembly elections in the region would follow shortly. Modi emphasized his government's decision to repeal Article 370, which had provided special status to Jammu and Kashmir, challenging the Congress party to attempt its reinstatement. He highlighted his administration's accomplishments over the past decade, asserting that he had fulfilled his promises to the people.
In addition to addressing political issues, Modi criticized the opposition for allegedly disrespecting religious sentiments by consuming non-vegetarian food during Navratri. This criticism followed the circulation of a video depicting RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav eating fish during the Hindu festival.
The Prime Minister's visit to Udhampur marked his third trip to Jammu and Kashmir this year, underscoring the region's importance in the BJP's electoral strategy. Union Minister Jitendra Singh, contesting from the Udhampur Lok Sabha seat, is a key figure in the party's efforts to secure victory in the region.
Modi's busy schedule also included plans to address a public rally in Barmer, Rajasthan, followed by a roadshow in Dausa. These engagements reflect the BJP's nationwide campaign efforts to secure support ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.
Meanwhile, in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister MK Stalin and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi are set to address a rally in Coimbatore, a critical constituency where the BJP has fielded its state president. This event underscores the intense competition in Tamil Nadu and the broader political landscape.
The Election Commission's notification for the third phase of Lok Sabha polls, covering 94 constituencies across 12 states, signals the progression of the electoral process. Nomination filing for this phase commenced on April 13, with April 19 set as the deadline.
Other political figures, such as Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav, are also actively engaged in campaigning across various states, reflecting the nationwide scope of political activity leading up to the elections.
With voting for all 543 Lok Sabha seats scheduled in seven phases starting on April 19, the political landscape is heating up as parties intensify their efforts to secure victory. Stay tuned to LiveMint for the latest updates on this dynamic electoral process.
