Four rounds of voting are still ahead.”
Additionally, Prime Minister Modi extended a message of caution to media personnel covering the elections, advising them to prioritize their health by staying hydrated: “Take care of your health and drink a lot of water.”
Union Home Minister Amit Shah also participated in the electoral process, casting his vote along with his family members at a polling booth in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
