Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to take a holy dip at Prayagraj’s Sangam during the Mahakumbh while Delhi votes in a crucial election. The BJP hopes his visit, mixing spirituality with political messaging, will influence voters as it fights to reclaim Delhi after 27 years. Modi’s past temple visits on election days, including Kedarnath in 2019 and Pashupatinath in 2018, coincided with BJP victories. Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath will accompany him. While the opposition criticizes the move, the Election Commission has not raised objections. Will this boost BJP’s fortunes, or will AAP retain its stronghold?
