00:03 Hello there.

00:11 Poll Perls on One India News.
00:14 Today on 17th April, 2024, the countdown

00:22 And so the campaign for the initial 102 seats
00:25 has concluded, punctuating a day of heightened activity
00:29 in the political landscape.
00:31 In today's significant political development,
00:33 Rahul Gandhi has asserted opposition's stance
00:36 on BJP's election prospect, while PM Modi's address
00:39 on Ram Navami has also gone viral,
00:42 stirring some fervent among the masses.
00:45 Additionally, the election commission's review
00:47 directed at the West Bengal governor
00:50 and the certain political parties
00:52 for some social media posts added to the day's event.
00:55 So without any further delay, let's
00:57 delve into the details of these developments
01:00 in this episode of the Poll Rap, also known as the Poll Perls.
01:06 In a big development, Rahul Gandhi today

01:11 as he and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took
01:14 on the stage, criticizing BJP on issues like dynastic politics

04:30 Now, on to the next big development.
04:48 Today, the election commission delivered a stern message
04:51 to the West Bengal governor, CV Anand Bose,
04:54 advising him to cancel his planned visit
04:57 to North Bengal's Kuch Bihar on 18th and 19th of April,
05:00 citing a violation of the model code of conduct.
05:04 With the first phase of Lok Sabha elections
05:06 scheduled for 19th of April in Kuch Bihar,
05:08 the 48-hour silence period has commenced today evening,
05:12 rendering any local program organized,
05:14 even by the governor, impermissible
05:16 under the model code of conduct.
05:19 Also, the West Bengal police has highlighted
05:22 the logistical challenges posed by the governor's visit
05:25 during the crucial election period.
05:27 And so the commission has emphasized
05:29 that the entire district administration and police force
05:32 will be engaged in the election management duties
05:35 on 18th and 19th, so it will be better if you don't go.
05:39 Consequently, the governor's proposed visit
05:41 will divert resources and attention away
05:44 from the essential poll-related tasks,
05:46 requiring some protocol arrangement and local security
05:49 cover that can disrupt time-bound election preparations.
05:52 Also, this planned visit has been cancelled
05:55 by the election commission.
05:57 Also, simultaneously, today marks the Ram Navami
06:00 with BJP once again employing its Ram Mandir rhetoric,
06:03 contrasting sharply with the Congress.
06:06 Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed
06:08 a massive crowd at a public rally in Nalbari, Assam.
06:12 Here, PM Modi extended his heartfelt greetings
06:15 to everyone on the occasion of Bhuag Bihu and Ram Navami.
06:19 Addressing the huge gathering,
06:21 PM Modi stated, "And we go, today marks
06:23 the historic occasion of Ram Mandir.
06:26 After a wait of almost 500 years,
06:29 Prabhu Ram has finally graced his magnificent temple.
06:33 Today, the nation witnesses the culmination
06:35 of centuries of devotion and sacrifice of generations."
06:39 Starting his public address,
06:41 Modi stated, "In 2014, Modi came among you with hope.
06:44 In 2019, Modi came with trust.
06:47 And in 2024, today when Modi has come to the land of Assam,
06:50 Modi has come with a guarantee."
06:53 Modi's guarantee means a guarantee for fulfilling guarantees.

08:52 However, the moment that was captured on the camera
08:55 today was PM Modi making more than a lakh people
08:58 in the ground chant Jai Shri Ram.
09:01 Also in another development, the social media platform
09:04 X, also known as formerly Twitter, has withheld
09:07 several posts on social media containing
09:10 some political speech from elected politicians,
09:13 political parties and candidates for office
09:16 after the Election Commission ordered a takedown.
09:19 However, the X, owned by Elon Musk,
09:22 expressed its disagreement with the orders issued
09:25 by the Election Commission. It stated,
09:28 "The Election Commission of India has issued a takedown order
09:31 requiring X to act on posts containing political speech
09:34 shared on elected politicians, political parties and candidates
09:37 for office. In compliance with the order, we have
09:40 withheld these posts for the remainder of the
09:43 election period. However, we disagree with
09:46 such actions and maintain that freedom of expression
09:49 should extend to these political posts
09:52 in general," X stated in a statement.
09:57 This also included a post by the Congress Party
10:00 on the alleged electoral bond scam, after which
10:03 the Congress Party asked the Election Commission what was the need
10:06 to hide and remove this post from the social media.
10:09 And so here we end
10:12 the today's episode of the Poll Pulse.
10:15 As the election season now reaches its pinnacle
10:18 before the first phase, it has indeed
10:21 ended on a charged note, including prediction,
10:24 restriction and bold assertions. However, what will be
10:27 the result? That will be out on 4th of June. Until then,
10:30 what you have to do, you have to stay tuned at 1IndiaNews
10:33 for all election and world coverage like
