Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold multiple campaign rallies for Bharatiya Janata Party candidates in Chhattisgarh and Odisha today, while Congress president Rahul Gandhi will start his poll campaign in Kerala. Mr Gandhi will address election rallies in Kollam and Alapuzha. Today is the last day of campaigning for the second phase of Lok Sabha Elections 2019.
Meanwhile, Home Minister Rajnath Singh will file his nomination papers in Uttar Pradesh capital Lucknow today for the Lok Sabha polls. The opposition is yet to come up with a candidate against him, which begs the question whether the former BJP president, who is seeking re-election from Lucknow, will have a walkover on the prestigious seat held in the past by stalwarts like former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Nominations close in two days for Lucknow, where voting will take place on May 6.
