Lok Sabha Elections: BJP, Congress rallies on the last day of March

Bengaluru, Apr 01: The last day of the March had witnessed important political rallies across the country. The Congress and JDS alliance Karnataka held the first joint rally in Bengaluru amidst reports that party workers are not together in Lok Sabha constituencies. Both All India Congress Committee (AICC) president Rahul Gandhi and JDS chief HD Deve Gowda urged the workers to work together to ensure BJP's defeat.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a town hall meeting in Talkatora Stadium in New Delhi. Responding to a question, PM Modi said, "Country does not need rajas and maharajas. It makes me happy that the spirit behind chowkidar is expanding. I have taken the corrupt to jail till now. After 2019, they will be behind bars."

Meanwhile in Visakhapatnam, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee urged BJP's sister organisations not to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party chief Amit Shah during the national polls. Addressing an election rally in Visakhapatnam organised by Chandrababu Naidu's TDP, Banerjee said the BJP won't get a single seat in West Bengal and the party won't cross the 125-mark in the 543-member Lok Sabha.
