As the Lok Sabha elections draw to a close, voters in 57 constituencies across seven states will exercise their right in the seventh and final phase. PM Modi is seeking a third term in his constituency Varanasi.
The Congress has decided not to participate in any Lok Sabha exit poll debates on television channels and said it does not want to indulge in speculation and slugfest for TRP. Congress spokesperson and media department chairperson Pawan Khera said the voters have cast their votes and their verdict has been secured.
