We’re just a couple of days away from the fifth phase of voting in the 2024 Lok Sabha election, which is set to end on June 4, when results will be declared. In the run up, Prime Minister Narendra Modi sat down with India Today TV for an exclusive and exhaustive interview; an interview that continued to make waves online and offline today. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav – once dubbed ‘UP ke ladke’ – were in Uttar Pradesh addressing rallies in Amethi and Raebareli, both seats that will be voting in Monday when polling for the fourth phase will be held. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh was the other leader to make headlines today as he responded to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s claim that PM Modi would have to quit the Prime Minister’s post next year. This, and more, in today's election wrap.
