And 50% of all his rallies and roadshows so far have been held in just five states – Uttar Pradesh West Bengal , Maharashtra, Odisha and Gujarat. This is in line with the political wisdom of this election that BJP needs to make up its losses in UP, due to the SP-BSP alliance, from West Bengal. BJP leaders told ET that the PM could do over 15 rallies in West Bengal by the end of the polls.

Modi is also expected to now focus on Madhya Pradesh where only six out of the 29 seats have voted.
