BJP candidate from Gorakhpur Lok Sabha Ravi Kishan on Saturday arrived at a polling station in Gorakhpur and queued up in the line to cast his vote and emphasised that politicians are servants of the public, not VIPs. Ravi Kishan said that this is what India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has taught them that they are servants of the public and are not VIPs.  

Kishan added as soon as PM Modi came, he ended the VIP culture in India by ending the concept of red beacons. He said when one’s head is so grounded, then one should remain a common man too. He said he does not hold any position above others now and prefers to stay humble. The prime minister has ended the VIP culture in India and changed the politics of the country. He emphasized that this is India’s culture and everybody should follow it.

Ravi Kishan said he has cast his vote for Viksit Bharat, Ram Rajya and to make India a Vishwa guru. He took to X and wrote Friends, you all will be aware that today voting is being held in Gorakhpur under the 7th phase of Lok Sabha Elections. On this occasion, he humbly requested everyone, the God-like voters who are the destiny makers of Gorakhpur, to exercise their right to vote in this great festival of democracy by discharging their duty as an aware voter.

He said every vote of theirs is important and it will decide the future of Gorakhpur Lok Sabha seat and the country, therefore he once again appealed to everyone to participate enthusiastically in this festival of democracy. Ravi Kishan is contesting against SP’s Kajal Nishad and BSP’s Javed Ashraf in UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath’s bastion Gorakhpur. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Kishan emerged victorious against Samajwadi Party (SP) candidate Rambhual Nishad by a margin of 3,01,664 votes.

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said it would be difficult for the BJP to win even 140 seats in the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. Yadav took a jibe over the NDA’s slogan of Abki baar 400 paar, and said, they have forgotten their slogan of crossing 400 Lok Sabha seats. He added the people are so angry that they will make it difficult for the BJP to win even 140 seats.

The SP leader attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said he has started stumbling due to anxiety. He accused the BJP of neglecting farmers and waiving loans of only industrialists and promised that the loans of farmers will be waived after the INDIA bloc government is formed. Akhiliesh Yadav was addressing a joint rally in support of Congress candidate from Maharajganj, Virendra Chaudhary.

The former Uttar Pradesh CM accused the central government of deliberately leaking recruitment exam papers so that the youth remains unemployed and in order to snatch reservation. Yadav promised the people that the opposition parties will provide jobs and demolish the Agniveer scheme of recruitment in the Indian army after the INDIA alliance government is formed.

He pointed that BJP is putting up big tents for their events but people are not coming. He further added the BJP is making the government officials sit in the election rallies in plain clothes to fill the tents. Lok Sabha elections are going to take place in Maharajganj on June 1.

Earlier the SP leader told the media that they have seen massive voting in favour of SP and INDIA bloc in the sixth phase. People have extended unprecedented support to them and it seemed that the NDA will be left much behind. He said earlier he used to say that the INDIA Bloc are ahead in 79 seats and the fight is only 1 seat. But now it seems that they are ahead on all 80 seats in Uttar Pradesh.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed an election rally on Thursday for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections at Hoshiarpur in Punjab. He said the time has come for a full majority government at the Centre after decades. He remembered Guru Ravidas and said that he was the inspiration for working towards the welfare of the poor. The prime minister expressed his wish for Adampur airport, which serves Jalandhar and Hoshiarpur, to be named after Guru Ravidas.

The prime minister noted that it was his last public meeting of this year’s Lok Sabha election, he said Hoshiarpur is called Chotti Kashi and is Guru Ravi Das’s tapobhoomi. PM pointed out that Varanasi, from where he is an MP, Guru Ravidas was born there. Therefore, in this pious land of Hoshiarpur, closing of the election campaign, for him is a matter of pride.

He targeted the opposition parties and the I.N.D.I.A bloc and said they sought proof of surgical strike and did not show any concern about the army and emptied the government treasury. He attacked the Congress and said the party has done double Ph.D in corruption. PM Modi also attacked the AAP government in the state and said they have destroyed industry and farming. He said every Indian is aligned with Viksit Bharat dream and is giving them their blessings.

The prime minister was confident that 21st century is India’s century and said the dumdaar sarkar is coming back. PM Modi further added that in 10 years, the prime minister has given a robust government that vanquished the nation’s enemies and made India prosperous and self-reliant and said that his government had worked with the motive that Karam hi dharam hai for sabka sath sabka vikas. PM Modi said the BJP government has already prioritised works to be done after coming to power. A 125-day roadmap has already been prepared.
