Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi is campaigning in Gandhinagar today in the run up to the state polls. Exuding confidence, Modi says, "Our Diwali is on counting day. I face the polls with confidence."

In Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi is on a campaign trail as well. The speech lacks lustre with the oft-repeated: "We need youth to fight graft" and the "BJP doesn't act on graft" spiel.
