Earlier on Friday, in an appeal to voters to come out in large numbers and exercise their franchise, Rahul Gandhi posted on X: “Today is the fourth phase of voting! It has become clear in the first three phases that the Indian government is going to be formed on June 4.

Remember, your one vote will not only protect your democratic rights but will also change the fate of your entire family. 1 vote = First job of ₹1 lakh per year guaranteed for youth. 1 vote = ₹1 lakh per year in the bank account of poor women.

So come out in large numbers and vote and show that the country will now vote on its issues - it will not get distracted."
