"Preventing Voters From Casting Votes Also A Crime": Akhilesh Yadav Warns BJP

A day before the fourth phase of polling for the general elections, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday warned the BJP not to come in the way of the public and said preventing voters from casting their votes is also a crime.

At least four persons, including three minors, were killed and three others were injured on Sunday in a blast in Jharkhand's Palamu, police said.

Voters in 96 constituencies across nine states and one Union Territory voted in the fourth phase of Lok Sabha election today. Andhra Pradesh and Odisha also voted to pick their next governments in simultaneous elections.

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma took a dig at Pakistan's economic situation and said that India's neighbour doesn't even have money to pay salaries and nobody is sure if their atom bomb will work.

The fourth phase of voting for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections ended today in 96 Lok Sabha constituencies across 10 states and Union Territories.

The Srinagar Lok Sabha constituency is voting today in the first elections since Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, was abrogated in 2019 and the state was bifurcated into two Union Territories.
