Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting two states today as part of the BJP's election campaign. With electioneering for the simultaneous Lok Sabha and Assembly polls in Odisha gaining, PM Modi addressed a public meeting in Kalahandi. PM Modi had started the BJP's election campaign in Odisha on March 29. Kalahandi is among the four Lok Sabha seats where the first phase of polling will be held on April 11. The BJP has set a target to win at least 120 of the 147 assembly seats in Odisha. In the 2014, BJP had won one of the 21 Lok Sabha and 10 of the 147 assembly seats in Odisha. Following his visit to Odisha, PM Modi will begin his campaign for the Lok Sabha elections in Bihar with rallies in Jamui and Gaya Lok Sabha seats, both of which go to polls in the first phase. At the rally in Gaya, PM Modi will share the stage with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan and Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi among others.
