72 parliamentary constituencies voted across 9 states on Monday marking the end of polling on fourth phase of the national election. The Election Commission said the provisional voting figure is 64 per cent. For the ruling BJP, the round was crucial, with voting beginning in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan - heartland states won by the Congress in assembly elections last year.
The campaigning for fifth phase will start today with both PM Modi and Amit Shah addressing rallies. PM will be in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. BJP chief Amit Shah will be in Rajasthan on Tuesday to address three election rallies. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi is to campaign in Madhya Pradesh. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, responding to the government's notice to Rahul Gandhi on a complaint alleging foreign citizenship, said today, "Everyone knows he was born and bred here".
In the fifth phase of voting, seven states comprising 51 Lok Sabha constituencies will vote on 6 May.
The seven-phase election ends on May 19 and the results will be declared on May 23.
Here are the highlights from election rallies:

Priyanka Gandhi Hits Back At BJP
- Congress has decided to give you money. What has BJP done for you all these 5 years? Have you got khad (manure)?
- We will work for farmers.
- BJP says every family of a farmer will receive 6000 per year which means 500 rs per month. Is this Kisan Samman Yojana or Kisan Apman Yojana?

Rahul Gandhi Attacks PM Modi
- What PM did was take your money and give the same to his friends--Anil Ambani. But I say we will give you money.
- The Modi government's GST decision led to employment.

PM highlights BJP's achievements in Bihar. He says:
- In 5 years, we have developed a political culture of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas. 10% reservation to poor youth of general category is a big effort of social harmony as it does not snatch the right of another class.
- We have brought the country out of the red light culture and poor have been given the LED bulb's.
- We have done the job of providing free treatment of up to Rs 5 lakh to the poor who had to sell their homes for treatment
- We have done the work building toilets to in village.
- We have worked to provide free gas connections to the poor sister who was forced to live in smoke throughout the age.
- We have taken the responsibility of giving the poor a pucca house that never even thought of their home in dreams.
- We have also given constitutional status to the OBC commission after all the protests by the opposition
- The election results will come on 23 May and once the Modi government comes. Then, we are going to give the benefit of the PM Kisan Samman Fund scheme to all the farmers of Bihar.
- The 5-acre limit for the present will be removed
Congress behaved weak during bomb blasts: PM Modi in Bihar
- Remember, the day when the big cities in the country, sometimes train, sometimes in the market, sometimes in the bus, at the temple, sometimes at the railway station, there were bomb explosions.
- Remember the way the Congress and its partners behaved as weak in that era of bomb blasts
- Whether it is within the country or across the border, the factory which will create terror and violence is on the target of this watchman.Wherever India is threatened, we will be able to go home and fix it.
- The history of the great adulterers is that they cannot say anything on terrorism; they hear Pakistan's name and their feet are trembling; their government is swinging. That is why air strikes and surgical strikes are allergic to them.
Opposition does not want to have a strong government: PM Modi
- Today, again, these people are having their own vision on Bihar. They want to prove self-interest by dividing Bihar into caste, dividing the society.
- They want to hide their corruption, their black adventures. Their goal is to have a weak, forced government in Delhi in any way so that they can do it arbitrarily.
- They don't want to tolerate a strong government in the centre even for a minute too
- Whatever you want to do, the campaign against black money and corruption, which we have taken, will not slow down. The big shopping malls, the farm houses, will also have to be accounted for. They will have to repay the poor money
"Bihar's vote is with NDA": PM Modi in Bihar's Muzaffarpur
- Those who had changed the identity of this great land are not fighting to form the government in the election centre. That is why I am cautioning the people of Bihar.
- Increasing their strength means kidnapping of daughters, vandalism, murders, corruption in every scheme.
- To increase their strength means to be imprisoned in their own home after sunset, to be choked, to be forced to flee.
