The Election Commission of India announced the schedule for the Lok Sabha elections 2024 and some state assembly polls at its Press Conference, which will be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow, March 16. The event will be live-streamed on the ECI's official social media platforms, said the ECI.
The announcement will set the stage for the political battle between the parties in which the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government is hoping for 300 'paar' in the third term, while the Opposition Congress-led INDIA alliance are hopeful of making a dent in the NDA’s predicted win.
