Modi to lead BJP campaign: 6 days, 22 rallies in Karnataka

The campaign for the upcoming Karnataka Assembly elections is set to gain momentum as Prime Minister Narendra Modi hits the BJP campaign trail in the battleground state of Karnataka this weekend.

However, it’s anticipated that PM Modi would hold up to 22 rallies around the state over the course of the next two weeks. The greatest star campaigner for the BJP would hold close to 22 rallies during his six-day visit for the election, according to sources who spoke to the media while the final itinerary was being created. On each tour, PM Modi would hold more than three rallies.

The BJP is extremely confident that it would perform well in the Karnataka election, but when Prime Minister Narendra Modi enters the battleground, it is a different game altogether. A senior party official tells the media that there is no greater momentum for the party’s campaign to reach its peak.

On Saturday, the major highlight of PM Modi’s busy campaign schedule will be the massive roadshow in Bengaluru.

PM Modi’s election campaign is as follows:

29 April: Modi will address rallies in Humnabad, Vijayapura, Kudachi, and North Bengaluru.

30 April: Modi will be doing rallies in Kolar, Channapattna, and Belur.

2 May: He is scheduled to hold public meetings in Chitradurga, Vijayanagara, Sindhanur, and Kalaburgi.

3 May: Public meetings are to be held in Moodabidri, Karwar, and Kittur.

6 May: PM Modi is to be in Chittapur, Nanjagud, Tumakuru Rural, and South Bengaluru.

7 May: On the final day before the close of the campaign, he will address four rallies. These rallies will be held in Badami, Haveri, Shivamogga Rural, and Bengaluru Central.

The saffron party will be pushing the double engine growth government-state and centre formula as it seeks votes for the Assembly elections. The party is looking to win again in the southern state. Karnataka has been one of the oldest organisations for the BJP.
