Keeping in view PM Modi’s arrival, security has been tightened near the shrine.
The portals of both the shrines were reopened for devotees after a six-month-long winter break.
59 parliamentary constituencies across 7 States and a Union Territory will go to polls in the last phase of the Lok Sabha elections on May 19. The results will be announced on May 23.
