The second phase of Lok Sabha elections will be held on April 26 in 89 Parliamentary constituencies across 13 states. Political Parties have intensified their poll campaigns for the second phase of Lok Sabha elections. A row erupted after Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday suggested if the Congress came to power, it would redistribute the wealth of people to Muslims.
Reacting to PM Modi’s remarks made during a Lok Sabha poll rally in Rajastha’s Banswara, the Congress accused the prime minister of creating a divide between Hindus and Muslims.
On the other hand, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stressed that Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) “was, is and will remain ours”. While addressing a rally in West Bengal’s Darjeeling, Singh said, “Don’t worry. PoK was, is, and will remain ours. India’s power is increasing…India’s prestige is increasing in the world and our economy is fast progressing. Now our brothers and sisters in PoK will themselves demand to come with India.”
States Going to Polls On April 26
Voting under the second phase of Lok Sabha elections on April 26 will take place in Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Tripura, West Bengal and Jammu and Kashmir.
