Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently concluded his Lok Sabha poll campaign with a rally in Hoshiarpur, Punjab, marking the end of a whirlwind series of public-outreach programmes. Since the Election Commission announced the poll schedule on March 16, PM Modi has engaged in a total of 206 public-outreach programmes, including rallies and roadshows, showcasing his dedication to connecting with the electorate across India.
As the nation gears up for the seventh phase of polling on June 1, with constituencies in West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, and Himachal Pradesh going to the polls, PM Modi’s campaign efforts have been focused on regions where the BJP aims to make an impact outside its traditional strongholds. His emphasis on investment and development in these areas has been a key highlight of his electioneering strategy.
Accusations of divisive hate speeches have been leveled against PM Modi by his predecessor Dr. Manmohan Singh, who criticized the Prime Minister for lowering the dignity of the Prime Minister’s Office with inflammatory rhetoric. Meanwhile, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has expressed confidence in the INDIA bloc’s ability to secure a clear majority in the Lok Sabha polls, emphasizing the need for an inclusive and nationalistic government.
In the midst of campaign dynamics, PM Modi recently embarked on a nearly two-day meditation exercise at the Vivekananda Rock Memorial in Kanyakumari, drawing both criticism and support for his unique approach to campaign conclusion. With the counting of votes set for June 4, the political landscape is set for a decisive outcome that will shape the future of the nation.
Union Minister Rajnath Singh has advocated for the implementation of a ‘one nation, one election’ system in the next five years, citing the need to streamline electoral processes and reduce the frequency of polls. The political arena is abuzz with anticipation as the nation awaits the results of the Lok Sabha elections and the formation of the next government.
PM Modi’s extensive campaign efforts, encompassing rallies, roadshows, and public engagements, reflect the intensity and fervor of the democratic process in India. As the nation prepares to witness the culmination of the election cycle, all eyes are on the final phase of polling and the subsequent counting of votes that will determine the course of governance for the coming years.
