Union Home Minister Amit Shah is set to intensify the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) poll campaign in Jammu and Kashmir today, addressing five public meetings across the Jammu region.
Shah’s rallies are scheduled in Mendhar at 10:30 a.m., Surankote at 12:00 noon, Thanamandi at 1:15 p.m., Rajouri at 2:15 p.m., and Akhnoor at 3:30 p.m. The high-profile events aim to bolster the party’s chances in the second phase of the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly elections.
The BJP is focusing its campaign efforts on the Jammu region, where it expects to win a maximum of 43 seats. In the 2014 elections, the party won 25 seats, mostly from the Jammu division.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi kicked off the BJP’s poll campaign for the second phase of the Assembly elections on Wednesday, addressing two rallies in Srinagar and Katra.
