BENGALURU: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has stepped up its campaign for the Assembly polls with party national president J P Nadda holding a roadshow and rally in Bidar on Friday and Union Home Minister Amit Shah holding a meeting with state BJP leaders on Saturday. Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai was also present at the meeting.
Amit Shah is on a three-day visit to Karnataka as part of BJP’s preparations for the May 10 Assembly polls. He was supposed to hold a roadshow in Devanahalli, but it was cancelled due to rain. “Due to heavy rain, I could not be there among the people of Devanahalli. I bow to them for turning out in large numbers despite adverse weather. I will certainly visit Devanahalli soon for a campaign. Their enthusiasm shows that the BJP will win a massive victory in Karnataka,” he said in a tweet.
Shah also shared a video of a local man who was seen wiping rainwater from cutouts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi put up on the way to a proposed BJP roadshow in Devanahalli. “The unwavering trust in PM Narendra Modiji and the selfless affection for him is what the BJP has earned and it is its source of strength. Have a look at this beautiful video from Devanahalli, Karnataka”, Shah said in another tweet.
