Lok Sabha Polls 2024

In a four-page letter to party president Mallikarjun Kharge, Arvinder Singh Lovely broached his frustration at the working of the Congress.

At the event, Modi articulated his aspiration not for personal gain but to suppress violent incidents such as bomb blasts, which he claimed have ceased since his tenure began in 2014. "This is Modi. My commitment is to ensure national security and safeguard your homes from firearms and explosives," he asserted.

Addressing the media in Begusarai, Singh remarked, "The contention within the INDI alliance revolves around securing the Muslim vote bank. Congress, in pursuit of this objective, has marginalized Hindu interests and curtailed their constitutional entitlements."

The judges of the court emphasized that rejection of unfounded suspicions about the potential manipulation of EVMs towards certain candidates was important. While giving voters the right to scrutinize the functionality of EVMs, they warned against trashing the integrity of the electoral process without actual evidence.

In the polling stations, it was an exhibition of the rich tapestry of Indian society, and diverse arrays of voters, including newlyweds, senior citizens, tribals, IT professionals, PwDs, women, and first-time young voters, were seen patiently queue up to cast their ballots.

Highlighting the appeasement politics of the opposition, Nadda pointed directly at the Congress Manifesto, emphasizing its clear manifestation.

Maintaining that "democracy is all about striving to build harmony and trust between all institutions." In a bid to uphold the essence of democracy, the bench, consisting of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and Dipankar Datta, delivered unified verdicts, rejecting all pleas related to the matter, including calls for reverting to the traditional ballot paper system.

The polling in Madhya Pradesh's Betul was postponed in this phase to May 7 on account of the unfortunate death of the BSP candidate.

Highlighting the intentions of his opponents, PM Modi emphasized that certain political factions, including the Congress, SP, and the INDIA bloc, were seeking votes to appease specific sections of their voter base, thereby threatening the rights of others. He particularly singled out the Samajwadi Party, characterizing it as a party centered around familial interests rather than the welfare of the broader populace.

During a series of election rallies in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi revealed what he termed an “interesting fact” for the nation. He recounted, “When Mrs. Indira Gandhi passed away, her property was supposed to go to her children. Had the previous law been in place, the government would have taken a portion of it. At that time, there was a talk that to save the property, her son and then Prime Minister (Rajiv Gandhi) simply abolished the inheritance law. When it came to their own interests, they removed the law,” said Prime Minister Modi.
