The final phase of the 2024 Lok Sabha election has started, with a focus on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Varanasi seat. Voting is happening for 57 seats across seven states, including 13 in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The election began 55 days ago. A severe heat wave, with temperatures over 45°C, has led to over 30 suspected heat-related deaths and concerns about voter turnout. The election's last phase has seen intense clashes between the BJP and the INDIA bloc. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, embroiled in a liquor policy scam, faces returning to jail as his bail ends.
