“We are ready for the biggest festival of democracy…” says PM Modi

New Delhi: The Election Commission today announced the dates for the Lok Sabha Election 2024. The elections will be held in seven phases between April 19 and June 1 and the counting of votes will take place on June 4. With the announcement of the election schedule for the formation of the 18th Lok Sabha, the Code of Conduct has come into force in the country with immediate effect. Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed this announcement of the Election Commission and said that we are fully prepared for the elections.

PM Modi in series of tweets wrote, “The biggest festival of democracy is here! EC has announced the 2024 Lok Sabha election dates. We, the BJP-NDA, are fully prepared for elections. We are going to the people on the basis of our track record of good governance and service delivery across sectors.”

He said that Ten years ago, before we assumed office, the people of India were feeling betrayed and disillusioned thanks to INDI Alliance’s pathetic governance. No sector was left untouched from scams and policy paralysis. The world had given up on India. From there, it’s been a glorious turnaround.

Powered by 140 crore Indians, our nation is creating new records of development. We have become the fifth largest economy and crores of people have been freed from poverty. Modi further wrote, “Our schemes have reached all parts of India and the emphasis of saturation has yielded great results.The people of India are witnessing what a determined, focused and result oriented government can do. And, they want more of it. That is why from every corner of India, cutting across all sections of society, the people are saying in one voice- Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar!”

“Our Opposition is rudderless and issueless. All they can do is abuse us and practice vote bank politics. Their dynastic approach and attempts of dividing society are not being accepted. Equally hurting them is their corruption trackrecord. People don’t want such leadership.

I can clearly see that the coming five years will be about our collective resolve of establishing the roadmap that will guide our trajectory as a nation for the next thousand years and make India the embodiment of prosperity, all-round growth and global leadership, “PM Modi said.

“I derive great strength from people’s blessings, especially the poor, our farmers, Yuva and Nari Shakti. When they say ‘मैं हूँ मोदी का परिवार’, it fills me with joy and makes me work harder to build a Viksit Bharat. This is THE era to make it happen and together we will! यही समय है सही समय है!, ” he said.
