New Delhi: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and Telegu Desam party president Chandrababu Naidu is meeting Congress president Rahul Gandhi at the latter’s residence in Delhi today to discuss the possibility of a post-poll alliance. Naidu will fly to Lucknow later in the day to meet Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati.
On Friday, Naidu had met CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury and Aam Admi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Friday, and discussed with them the possible tie-up in the post-election scenario.
The high-decibel campaign marred by vitriolic attacks, violence and counter-attacks by politicians came to an end on Friday as the staggering seven-phased Lok Sabha elections draws to a close on Sunday with 59 remaining seats going to polls.
After concluding his whirlwind election campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a two-day visit to the holy shrine of Kedarnath in Uttarakhand today. After paying obeisance at the temple, he will head to Badrinath on Sunday to offer prayers. During his visit, he is also expected to hold meetings on developmental issues. He would return to New Delhi on the same day later.
Security has been tightened around both the shrines in view of the Prime Minister’s visit, said Ashok Kumar, Director General (Law and Order)
Modi wrapped up campaigning on Friday with his first-ever press conference in five years alongside party chief Amit Shah. He however, refrained from answering any question, with Shah leading the way. Meanwhile, Gandhi held a joint-press conference in which he accused the Election Commission of being biased towards Modi. He later also launched an attack on the PM for refusing to take any questions during the press conference.
The seven-phase Lok Sabha elections which began on April 11, will conclude on May 19. The counting of votes will take place on May 23.
