Lok Sabha election 2024 LIVE: PM Modi will address public rally in Chhattisgarh shortly

BJP has announced the candidature of Tashi Gyalson from Ladakh Constituency replacing its current MP Jamyang Tsering Namgyal from this seat.

"PM Modi sent ₹7 lakh crore for West Bengal, but the TMC people took 'cut money'. You can see the houses of TMC leaders, 10 years ago...they lived in a hut, moved on cycle and they have all have four-storey houses and move around in big cars. This is your money."

“It is evident that people of Aligarh are going to break every record, and will make a new one this time. 10 years isn’t a short duration. People are discussing about the INDIA alliance and have announced that BJP is going to be wiped out.”

"If you want to free Bengal of violence, stop infiltration in the state, give citizenship to refugees, to stop disrespect of our mothers and sisters as it happened in Sandeshkhali, then there is only one way- make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister. "

Madhya Pradesh Congress chief Jitu Patwari on Tuesday took a jibe at Prime Narendra Modi stating that the latter is the first prime Minister of the country who did nothing about his promises made during 2014 general elections and "Modi guarantee means guarantee of lies." PM Modi is scheduled to visit Madhya Pradesh for the fifth time on Wednesday within this month and will hold a roadshow in the state capital Bhopal. Earlier, he came to Jabalpur on April 7, Balaghat on April 9, Narmadapuram on April 14 and Damoh on April 19.

BJP president JP Nadda said in Tikamgarh, Madhya Pradesh said, " During the Congress regime several scams took place - coal scam, submarine scam, Augusta Westland helicopter scam, sugar scam, rice scam, Commonwealth Games scam, 2G scam. The Congress didn't even spare the space, sky, earth or the sea."

P Chidambaram said"It won't have an impact on elections. The people will take care of the campaign. Yes, we are handicapped. This is not a level-playing field. Look at the hoardings, TV advertisements, no body can match the BJP because they got 8,500 crore rupees from electoral bonds. Whatever we got is in the bank accounts which are frozen. No bank is allowing us to operate our accounts. We are on an uneven field but the people will support."

Addressing a rally in UP's Gautam Budh Nagar, Rajnath Singh said, "There was a time when Noida was a centre of corruption. But today, under PM Modi and CM Yogi Adityanath, Noida has become a big business centre in India."

PM Modi says in Rajasthan's Tonk, "The truth is that when the Congress was in power, they wanted to give separate reservation to their special vote bank by breaking into the reservation of Dalits and backward classes. Whereas the Constitution is completely against this..."

PM Narendra Modi said, "The day before yesterday in Rajasthan I put forth some truth in front of the country and the entire Congress and INDI alliance went into a panic. I put forth the truth that Congress is plotting to snatch your property and distribute it to their special people...When I exposed their politics, they got so angry that they started abusing Modi...I want to know from Congress why are they so afraid of the truth? Why do they hide their policy so much, when you yourself made the policy then why are you afraid to accept it now...If you have the courage then accept it, we are ready to face you..."

PM Modi says, “In 2014, when you gave Modi the opportunity to serve in Delhi, the country took decisions that no one had imagined. But if the Congress had been in power, stones would still be pelted at our forces in Jammu and Kashmir. If the Congress was in power, the enemies would still be cutting off the heads of our soldiers from across the border & the Congress government would not have done anything. One Rank One Pension would not have been implemented for our soldiers, bomb blasts would have been taking place in the country if Congress was in power. Congress had committed the sin of protecting the Rajasthan serial blast accused...If Congress was in power, it would have found new ways of corruption for itself...Rajasthan was number 1 in crime against women during Congress rule. Congress shamelessly said that this is Rajasthan's identity in Vidhan Sabha. 'Arey doob maro'..."”

Addressing a public rally in Tonk-Sawai Madhopur, Modi says, “Unity is Rajasthan's wealth. Whenever we have been divided the enemy has taken advantage of it. Even now efforts are going on to divide Rajasthan and its people and Rajasthan needs to be cautious of this. In these 10 years, you have seen what a stable and honest government can do for the development of the country.”

Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, speaking in Rajasthan's Tonk, "I have received all your love, blessings and enthusiasm. Today is the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti and I extend my wishes to everyone for the same."

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath says, "PM Modi in his election speeches says that whatever we've got, its credit goes to the public, as they've understood the value of their democratic rights. They voted for the right and therefore they are getting the right results. Congress, SP and INDIA alliance are deceiving the country with its divisive politics. Whenever they've got a chance, they've dealt a blow to the national interest...During the Samajwadi Party's rule, there were food grain scams...30 lakh fake ration cards were found in 2017 when I assumed the charge as the CM...Under the rule of PM Modi, ePOS machines have been set up in more than 80,000 ration quota shops. Doorstep delivery has been done...It is because of PM Modi that there has been politics of performance...:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a post on X, “In the Lok Sabha elections, BJP-NDA is getting immense support from people all over the country. In this atmosphere of enthusiasm, today I will be among my family members in two states. At around 10:45 am in Tonk-Sawaimadhopur in Rajasthan, at around 2:45 pm in Janjgir-Champa in Chhattisgarh and at around 5 pm in Mahasamund, I will receive the blessings of my loved ones.”

Today, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Union Minister and BJP candidate from Thiruvananthapuram, embarked on a train journey from Parassala to Thiruvananthapuram Central as part of his election campaign. During his visit to the railway station, he engaged in interactions with local residents. Meanwhile, the Congress has nominated sitting MP Shashi Tharoor as its candidate from this constituency.

BJP leader Agnimitra Paul said on Congress' 'five guarantees' in the election manifesto. "They (Congress) stole money of people of India. Congress' two supremos are out on bail. 140 crore Indians are now not ready to listen about these guarantees. Indians now only trust one person and that is Narendra Damodardas Modi."
