attendees like Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, Amit Shah, and others. Slug-fest over poll dates has started as Congress blamed the BJP for pressuring the Election Commission into delaying the announcement of schedule. 

The EC has, however, denied the claim. PM Modi’s visits to Gujarat have been more frequent in the run-up to the elections. On a two-day visit last week, he visited and inaugurated several projects in Gandhinagar, Bharat, Rajkot and his hometown Vadnagar. Mid last month he visited the state along with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to lay the foundation stone of the bullet train project.
