Counting tomorrow; nearly 8000 candidates for 543 LS seats

The campaign held in blistering heat in several parts of the country was replete with barbs by various political leaders.

During the high decibel campaign marked by vitriolic accusations, Modi constantly targeted Rahul as ‘shehzada' and the UPA dispensation as the ‘mother-son' government besides going after Sonia's son-in-law Robert Vadra over alleged land deals.

He also hurled barbs at the UPA government, saying it represented the ‘ABCD' of corruption, referring to Adarsh, Bofors and Coal scams.

He also took a ‘RSVP' jibe at the Nehru-Gandhi family, saying R stood for Rahul, S for Sonia, V for Vadra and P for Priyanka.

He often ridiculed his rival parties for having a one-point “Stop Modi” agenda.
