Amidst the heat for the last phases of Lok Sabha Elections 2024 intensifying, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is gearing up to hold election rallies in Maharashtra and Telangana on Friday. With the fourth phase of Lok Sabha elections 2024 approaching, the PM is sure to leave no stone unturned. The fourth phase of voting for the Lok Sabha elections will take place on May 13. The counting of votes will take place on June 4.
An ANI report stated that PM Modi will be travelling to Nandurbar, where he will host a public gathering to demonstrate support for his individual BJP candidates. The prime minister will endorse Heena Gavit, a candidate for the BJP and a member of parliament. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Heena Vijaykumar Gavit of the BJP emerged victorious from the Nandurbar Lok Sabha constituency. Gavit is the opponent of Gowaal Padavi.
Thereafter, the Prime Minister will address a public meeting in Telangana's Mahabubnagar at around 3:15 pm, followed by another public meeting in Hyderabad at around 5:30 pm.
BJP's Madhavi Latha is set to face off against Asaduddin Owaisi, a four-time Lok Sabha MP from the Hyderabad constituency. It is also noteworthy that this is the first time that the BJP has sent out a female candidate from the Hyderabad constituency. Furthermore, Congress has fielded Challa Vamsichand Reddy, from Mahabubnagar Lok Sabha Constituency, while DK Aruna will contest from the BJP, and current MP Manna Srinivas Reddy will contest in the ticket of the BRS. Voting for all 17 seats in Telangana will take place on May 13 in the fourth phase of the ongoing Lok Sabha elections 2024.

Later, PM Modi will then head to Odisha, where he will hold a roadshow in Bhubaneswar at around 8:30 pm. The state of Odisha will hold Assembly elections and Lok Sabha elections in four phases from May 13 to June 1, with vote counting scheduled for June 4.
In the 2019 Assembly election, Biju Janata Dal (BJD) won 112 out of 146 seats, while Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) won 23 seats and Congress won 9. The PM's vehement preparations for campaigning show the importance of winning for the BJP. It is a matter of time before we discover if this trend will be broken.
