Lok Sabha Polls 2024: Voting on 102 seats in 21 states, Kamal Nath casts his vote in Chhindwara

The high-octane Lok Sabha elections are set to kick off today, with 102 seats across 21 states and Union Territories slated for polling in the first phase. As the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), spearheaded by Prime Minister Modi, aims for a reinforced majority and a consecutive third term in Centre, the Opposition coalition under the banner of I.N.D.I.A is striving for a resurgence following setbacks in the 2014 and 2019 elections.
