The meditation comes even as the campaigning ends for the seventh phase of Lok Sabha elections, scheduled on Saturday. The result of the Lok Sabha elections will be declared on June 4. This location, where the Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, and Arabian Sea converge, is seen by BJP leaders as a powerful symbol of national unity.
Over 2,000 police personnel have been deployed around the Vivekananda Rock Memorial to ensure the Prime Minister's security, with the Coast Guard and Navy also maintaining vigil.
Campaigning for the final phase of the Lok Sabha polls concluded at 5 pm today. During the silent period before the last phase of the 2019 elections, PM Modi had similarly undertaken a spiritual retreat to Kedarnath, where he meditated in a cave.
With the curtains drawn on poll campaigning, the nation braces for the final phase of voting, which is set to take place on June 1. The Lok Sabha elections are being held in seven phases across the country from April 19 to June 1. The counting of votes will take place on June 4.
