Lok Sabha Election 2024, Phase 1: Voting on 102 seats underway
In the first phase of Lok Sabha elections 2024, as many as 102 constituencies spanning across 21 states and Union Territories will elect their new MPs.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi on Thursday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the imposition of Article 144 in his constituency Varanasi.
Article 144 was imposed in the wake of protests over the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizen.
Tagging a media report, Priyanka tweeted, “On 359 out of 365 days in the year 2019, Section 144 was imposed in Varanasi town, the PM’s own constituency and he has the gall to say that people have nothing to fear?”

However, violent protests took place in different parts of the country especially in Uttar Pradesh due to which the administration had to impose Article 144 at many such places.
