On the last day of campaigning for Lok Sabha elections in Punjab, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath addressed rallies in Mohali and Ludhiana today. Yogi said that there is mafia rule in Punjab, give us only 48 hours and you will see that we will wipe out the mafia. At the same time, in Nawanshahr, Rahul Gandhi targeted PM Modi by making the three agricultural laws an election issue and said that by bringing the Agniveer Yojana, he has made even the youth workers.

Rahul Gandhi said that Modi's policies have stopped the economy. It is to be noted that Rahul Gandhi and the India Alliance have made reservations and the constitution a major issue in these elections, while the BJP says that they are spreading lies. Now the results coming on June 4 will tell which party people give mandate to.
