NIVEDITA MOOKERJI

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which won all 26 seats in the previous two Lok Sabha elections in 2014 and 2019 and is aiming to repeat the success story this time as well, has planned public meetings and rallies of its top star campaigners through the week.

The Congress, which has seen an early setback in the Surat constituency with the BJP candidate Mukesh Dalal being declared a winner ahead of the election, is trying to match up.

For the BJP, in the last week of campaigning, it's mostly going to be all the way a Modi-Shah show in terms of large rallies and public meetings in Gujarat, their home state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address two public meetings in Deesa (Banaskantha) and Himmatnagar (Sabarkantha) on May 1 (Wednesday) and four in Anand, Surendranagar, Junagadh, and Jamnagar on May 2 (Thursday), according to a BJP functionary.

Home Minister Amit Shah, who's fighting for re-election from the Gandhinagar seat, may hold at least two more rallies on May 3 and 4 in central and south Gujarat.
