Following the fifth phase of voting, as the country gears towards wrapping up the final two phases of the 2024 general elections, Prime Minister Modi will hold a ‘Matri Shakti Sammelan’ in Varanasi today. The event will be attended by over 25,000 women in his Varanasi parliamentary constituency, where he is eyeing a hat-trick after victories in 2014 and 2019. The fifth phase of the Lok Sabha election witnessed over 57% voter turnout across 49 constituencies in six states and two Union territories on Monday. Maharashtra recorded the lowest voter turnout at 48.88%, while West Bengal saw the highest polling percentage at 73. Jammu and Kashmir’s Baramulla Lok Sabha constituency recorded a voter turnout of more than 54%, the highest in almost four decades. Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Yogender Chandoliya has refuted opposition allegations that the party is against the ideas of B.R. Ambedkar, emphasizing the BJP’s respect for Dalit leaders and Ambedkar’s Constitution, which has enabled his own rise in politics.
