Modi will visit Kanyakumari between May 30 and June 1
As soon as the campaigning for the final phase of the Lok Sabha elections ends, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will go to Kanyakumari for meditation. For the last one and a half months, Modi has been campaigning vigorously for the Lok Sabha elections through public meetings and road shows. Sources informed that Modi will go to Kanyakumari for the purpose of meditation between May 30 and June 1 to make up for this lack of campaigning.
During this visit, Prime Minister Modi will visit the Rock Memorial. Modi will meditate at the holy place where Swami Vivekananda meditated. Sources said that this tour is spiritual and there will be no political program in it. Modi had earlier visited Kedarnath after the 2019 elections. In 2014, he went to Pratapgad which was sanctified by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. On the other hand, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is also likely to go on a tour after the Lok Sabha campaign is over.
