JP Nadda On Two-Day Karnataka Visit
BJP president JP Nadda is on a two-day visit to the poll-bound Karnataka. This is Nadda’s first visit to the state after the saffron party announced candidates for the Assembly polls. Nadda addressed some rallies in the state where he accused the Congress of patronising the banned Popular Front of India (PFI). The Centre banned the Popular Front of India (PFI) in September last year.
Amit Shah’s Karnataka Visit
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will embark on a three-day visit to Karnataka from April 21. Shah is likely to hold roadshows in Davanagere and Devanahalli. This will be Amit Shah’s first visit to Karnataka since the announcement of the polls. The home minister’s visit is crucial given that several leaders quit BJP over ticket denial. Shah will look to energise the grassroots workers during this campaign. The ruling BJP in Karnataka is pulling out all the stops to retain the state where it is pitted against the opposition Congress and the JD(S) in the May 10 elections. The counting of votes will take place on May 13.
