Lok Sabha Election 2024 LIVE: PM Modi To Address Rally In SP’s Stronghold Etawah

The political parties have intensified their poll campaigns ahead of the voting for the third phase of the Lok Sabha polls on May 7.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address a poll-bound rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Etawah, a Samajwadi Party stronghold.

Meanwhile, a complaint has been filed against Rahul Gandhi for filing his nomination from the Raebareli seat in Uttar Pradesh. The complaint raises a question about Rahul Gandhi’s nationality and his recent conviction in a defamation case, and how his nomination can be deemed valid by the Election Commission.

A total of 94 Lok Sabha seats across 12 states and Union Territories will go to polls on May 7.

All eyes are on two major political alliances namely, the INDIA bloc and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA- the major competitors in the Lok Sabha Election 2024. While the INDIA bloc comprises of political parties like the Congress, the AAP, the TMC etc. NDA has the BJP, the PMK, the JDU etc. as its member parties.

NDA is eyeing its third consecutive term this general election, with echoes of ‘abki baar 400 paar’, while the opposition INDIA bloc is taking an economical approach to their campaign, promising MSP for farmers and cash handouts to women in their manifesto.
