Narendra Modi’s Gujarat Blitz: 6 Rallies Across 11 Constituencies in 2 Days

To prepare for the third round of the Lok Sabha elections 2024, which is scheduled for May 7, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will spend two days campaigning in his home state of Gujarat. Assist. Modi is said to be visiting six public gatherings and 11 Lok Sabha seats in the state. According to sources, Anand, Wadhwan of Surendranagar, Junagadh, Jamnagar, Deesa of Banaskantha, and Himmatnagar of Sabarkantha would host the six public meetings. There’s a good chance that Vadodara will host a roadshow for PM Narendra Modi.

On May 7, voting will take place in Gujarat’s third round of elections for 25 of the 26 seats. The Election Commission proclaimed the BJP’s Mukesh Dalal the winner without opposition in the Surat constituency, and no polling will take place there. This comes just after the nominations for two Congress candidates were denied. In addition to the Congress, eight other candidates—mostly independents—as well as Pyarelal Bharti of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chose not to submit their nominations in Surat, which resulted in the triumph of the BJP.
