Gujarat Lok Sabha elections 2024: A teary-eyed Somabhai said that Hiraba would be showering her blessings upon PM Modi from heaven. The Prime Minister never cast his vote without meeting his mother at her residence in Gandhinagar and taking her blessings.
The BJP is set to vote in 25 of Gujarat s 26 Lok Sabha constituencies on Tuesday, with the party having already won unopposed in Surat. The party had previously targeted a winning margin of half a million votes in all seats, having done so twice in 2014 and 2019. However, as the campaign settles for the third phase, concerns have arisen within the party. The campaign has focused largely on national narratives, Ram Mandir, and the Hindutva agenda, but local issues have created more resonance in the state than larger appeal.
The third phase of voting for the 18th Lok Sabha will take place today, covering 93 constituencies across 10 states and a Union Territory. Over 1,300 candidates, including 120 women, are in the race, with the final results expected on June 4.
