Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to campaign in Srinagar and Katra ahead of the second phase of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections, which follow a significant first phase with a 59% voter turnout. Modi's rallies are anticipated to be pivotal for the BJP, which has fielded candidates in 19 out of 47 Kashmir seats. Enhanced security measures are in place for these rallies, including coordination between local police and the Special Protection Group. Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, have also urged voters to participate, criticizing the abrogation of Article 370. The elections mark the first in J&K since it became a Union Territory and are taking place in three phases, with results announced on October 8. Concurrently, Modi will also address a rally in Kurukshetra, Haryana, as part of the BJP's campaign for the upcoming assembly elections in the state.
