NEW DELHI: Home Minister Amit Shah will address three meetings in Chenab Valley Monday, the last day of campaigning for the first phase of Jammu and Kashmir state assembly elections.
“The Home Minister will address three meetings in Ramban, Kishtwar and Padder on September 16,” said Arun Kumar Gupta, BJP spokesperson and in-charge of the media centre.
The first phase of the three-phase elections will be held on September 18 in twenty-four districts of the Chenab Valley – Doda, Kishtwar and Ramban districts, and south Kashmir districts of Anantnag, Pulwama, Kulgam and Shopian.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday addressed a massive election rally in support of BJP candidates in Doda district, while Shah is visiting Jammu for the second time in two weeks. Earlier during his two-day visit to Jammu, Shah addressed a workers’ convention and released the BJP’s manifesto for the state Assembly elections.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also spoke on two election meetings in support of BJP candidates in Ramban and Banihal on September 8.
Union Minister G Kishan Reddy has announced that the Prime Minister will visit Jammu and Kashmir again before the second phase of elections on September 25 and the third phase on October 1 to address election rallies.
Besides the Home and Defence Ministers, BJP national president and Union Minister JP Nadda will also campaign in Jammu on September 20.
“Seeing the tremendous response from the people, there should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that the BJP will form the next government in J&K,” Reddy said.
