Obama gone, Modi set to jump into Delhi poll campaign

January 28, 2015 10:04

Hindustan Times reports: In the last leg of campaigning, the BJP has decided to go full throttle with Prime Minister Narendra Modi taking centre stage again for the party at four rallies across the Capital.

The rallies are expected to be held in the last few days of campaigning to make the maximum impact on voters. Apart from the Prime Minister, who had been the sole face of the party before Kiran Bedi was declared the chief ministerial nominee, senior party leaders and union ministers will hold rallies for BJP candidates.

According to Anil Jain, senior BJP leader and in-charge of rallies, Modi will address voters of about 20 assembly constituencies at the CBD ground in Shahdara.

Neither Modi nor party president Amit Shah, however, is likely to hold any rally in the New Delhi assembly segment from where AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal is contesting. To ensure that the rallies are a resounding success the central leadership will monitor all the arrangements after allegations of a poor show at the Ramlila Maidan rally.
