With the first phase of elections less than a fortnight away, PM Modi raised many eyebrows when he tweeted that he would address the nation on Wednesday. "Today I would be addressing the nation at around 11:45 AM - 12.00 noon with an important message. Do watch the address on television, radio or social media," PM Modi tweeted. Political pundits had noted that it was unusual for a prime minister to address the nation in the middle of the national election campaign.

The unprecedented address has led to wide speculations that an announcement is on the anvil.
