NEW DELHI: With the ruling BJP shifting its focus to poll-bound states after losing its southern citadel Karnataka to Congress, Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to address a rally in Haryana’s Sirsa on June 18. Sharing more information, BJP’s Haryana Haryana in-charge and former chief minister of Tripura Biplab Kumar Deb said that the party will hold 13 major events in Haryana till June 30 to mark the completion of nine years of PM Narendra Modi-led government at the centre.
Shah will be in Haryana as part of the ruling BJP’s massive ‘Jan Sampark’ Abhiyan to reach out to the masses to highlight the nine years of achievements of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre ahead of the 2024 lok sabha polls.
As part of the plan, the saffron party would organise rallies, hold talks with business organisations, build contact with senior workers, organise Yoga Day programmes on June 21 and conduct various other activities during this period.
BJP Switches To Poll Mode
After facing the electoral debacle in Karnataka, the ruling BJP has shifted its focus to poll-bound states like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana and where assembly polls will be held next year. If sources are to be believed, the BJP is eyeing the Lok Sabha seat of Sirsa – a stronghold of Haryana’s powerful Chautala family. Amit Shah had earlier this year in January visited Sonipat and Rohtak – both considered to be strong bastions of former Congress CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda.
In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP had swept all 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana. Prior to that, in 2014, Sirsa had gone to the INLD, while Deepender Hooda of the Congress emerged victorious in Rohtak. Sonipat was won by BJP’s Ramesh Chander Kaushik.
Andhra Pradesh
Besides Haryana, Amit Shah and BJP president JP Nadda will visit Andhra Pradesh as part of the Mega Jan Sampark Abhiyan. The purpose of the leaders’ visit is to present the progress card of the PM Modi government’s nine-year tenure to the public, said sources in the BJP. According to the party sources, Home Minister Shah will address a public rally in Visakhapatnam on June 8, while Nadda will address a gathering in Tirupati on June 10.
