BENGALURU: Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who arrived in Bengaluru on Sunday to campaign for the party across the state, has a packed schedule. He will hold party meetings at Hubballi, where Jagadish Shettar recently switched over to Congress, raising curiosity about the strategies he may employ to defeat Shettar in his constituency
Shah has apparently vowed to teach a lesson to former CM Jagdish Shettar, who quit the BJP after being denied a ticket. He has studied various ground reports of Hubli-Dharwad Central constituency, prepared a report based on private and party’s internal surveys, and chalked out a master plan for defeating Shettar. He has also given strict instruction to local BJP leaders, office bearers and senior workers of the constituency that Shettar should not get support of local leaders.
Shah has also deployed a team of the RSS, which is put up in Hubballi-Dharwad, and is working from the gram panchayat, hobli and taluk level. Shah and his team have completed ring-fenced Hubli-Dharwad Central constituency and are preparing to checkmate their opponent.
