Yogi Adityanath to be star campaigner for BJP in Gujarat

March 27, 2017 19:50

After winning Uttar Pradesh with an overwhelming mandate, the BJP's next big frontier is Gujarat where the party has set itself a target of 150 seats.

Keen to do a UP in Gujarat, the BJP plans to bring in none other than Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath as the star campaigner for the election season.

Gearing up for the election, which is likely to take place end of this year, the ruling BJP has already launched its election slogan: "UP mein 325, Gujarat mein 150".

The party is eyeing a three-fourth majority in the Assembly election which will see the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party too fighting to reclaim lost ground.
