Lok Sabha Election 2019 LIVE: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) fields Union ministers Hardeep Singh Puri and Harsh Vardhan from Amritsar and Chandni Chowk Lok Sabha seats respectively. The party has renominated Manoj Tiwari, Parvesh Verma and Ramesh Bidhuri from their respective seats in Delhi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi while addressing an election rally in Rajasthan?s Chittorgarh, said that India too has nuclear options available in case the need arises. “India has stopped the policy of getting scared of Pakistan?s threats. Every other day they used to repeat that they have nuclear button but what do we have then? Have we kept it for Diwali?,” Modi said. “We have the capacity to strike a nuclear attack from water, land and sea,” Modi added.
Starting the campaign trail from his home turf, Modi will first hold a rally in Gujarat’s Patan district after which he will be headed to the neighbouring state of Rajasthan. Here, he will campaign in Chittorgarh and then head to Barmer for another rally in the evening.
Two days before Gujarat votes on April 23, BJP chief and Gandhinagar Lok Sabha candidate Amit Shah will embark on a roadshow at noon in Sanand area of his constituency on the last day of campaign. He is also expected to meet leaders from the assembly constituencies of Ghatlodia and Vejalpur.

Starting from Rampur, the CM will head to Lakhimpur Kheri, where he is scheduled to address a rally. He will then be in Hardoi for another rally and finally travel to Kanpur, where he will be campaigning in the evening.
