New Delhi: For Oct 15 assembly elections, political leaders of different parties led by PM Modi numerous rallies across Maharashtra and Haryana.
The high-voltage campaign came to an end this evening as Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrapped up his offensive against Congress and other rivals who gave him back in equal measure.
Counting of votes will be taken up on Sunday. The October 15 elections for the Maharashtra Assembly will be the first in over quarter of a century when major political parties are out in the poll arena sans erstwhile alliance partners.
The campaign in Haryana saw the Prime Minister targeting Congress over the land deals involving Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra, saying it symbolised the corruption of 10 years of Congress regime.
Unlike in the recent past, when the fight was mainly between Congress and Indian National Lok Dal (INLD), a number of new players threw their hats in the ring this time. However, Congress, BJP and INLD are being seen as the main players, with all three hoping to capture power on their own.
