PM Modi To Address Rallies In UP On May 16
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing back-to-back rallies in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday and Friday, IANS reported citing a party spokesman.
He will be holding rallies in Jaunpur and Azamgarh on Thursday. While the Jaunpur rally will also cover Machhlishahr parliamentary seat, the one in Azamgarh will aim to consolidate the party’s position in both Azamgarh and Lalganj seats.
Interestingly, except for Machhlishahr, the BJP lost the other three seats -- Azamgarh, Lalganj and Jaunpur -- to the SP-BSP combine in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. The BJP managed to win Machhlishahr by a wafer-thin margin of 181 votes, with party candidate Bholanath Saroj defeating BSP candidate Tribhuwan Ram, a former PWD chief engineer.
Shah Likely To Arrive In Kashmir Today For 2-Day Visit
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to arrive on a two-day visit to Kashmir on Thursday, news agency PTI reported citing a local BJP leader said. "The Home Minister will arrive here tomorrow evening and meet several delegations," BJP spokesman Altaf Thakur told PTI.
He said Shah is also likely to chair a security review meeting during his overnight stay in the valley.
"Our local party leaders, delegations from the Pahari community, trade bodies, and civil society are scheduled to meet the Home Minister," Thakur added., as reported by PTI.
It is to be noted that the BJP has not fielded its candidates for the three Lok Sabha seats in Kashmir but has unofficially extended support to some of the new political parties formed after the abrogation of Article 370.
