Earlier, Pilot said that the "Bharatiya Janata Party talks about crossing 300 or 400 seats, but if they were so confident, why do they need to bring opposition members into their party and contest elections? They say one thing but their actions suggest otherwise. If they are so confident, then why the need to bring our former ministers, former MPs, and MLAs into their party?"

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Rajasthan is going to give all 25 Lok Sabha seats to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a third time.

During a campaign rally in Bhilwara, Shah took aim at former chief minister Ashok Gehlot, noting his focus is only on the election campaign of his son, Vaibhav Gehlot, who is contesting from Jalore.

"Vaibhav Gehlot is going to lose the election by a huge margin," Shah claimed. "The first phase of elections was yesterday (Friday). All 12 seats of Rajasthan that voted in the first phase are going to Narendra Modi. Rajasthan is going to make a hat-trick of giving all 25 seats to Narendra Modi for a third time," Shah said.
