Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be one of the star campaigners of the BJP for the municipal corporation polls scheduled to be held on April 23.

The party has prepared a list of star campaigners, including Union ministers, chief ministers of BJP-ruled states, senior party leaders, and Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari will personally request them to campaign in the run-up to the MCD polls.

"It is a tentative list of senior party leaders who will campaign in the municipal elections and expose the Aam Aadmi Party and its leader Arvind Kejriwal," said Delhi BJP vice president Ravindra Gupta.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya will also campaign for the saffron party in the MCD polls, he added.

Names of Union ministers, including those of Rajnath Singh, Arun Jaitley, M Venkaiah Naidu, Nitin Gadkari, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Harsh Vardhan and Vijay Goel, also figure in BJP's list of star campaigners for the MCD polls.
