PM Narendra Modi addressing a public meeting in Himachal.
In the last leg of campaigning in Himachal Pradesh, PM Narendra Modi will address two election public meetings today. The first public meeting will be held at Chambi in Shahpur assembly constituency of Kangra district at 10 am, while the second will be held at Sujanpur in Hamirpur district at 12 noon.
Both Modi’s rallies are considered important.
Trying to reach 20 assembly seats through two rallies
Both the rallies of Prime Minister Modi are considered important for the mission repeat of the Bharatiya Janata Party. Through these two rallies, BJP will try to reach 20 assembly seats in Hamirpur and Kangra districts. The maximum number of 15 seats in Kangra district decides the key to the power of Himachal. Hamirpur district also has 5 assembly seats. Sujanpur seat is important for BJP as it is contesting from Congress working president Rajendra Rana.
Rana, who defeated Dhumal from Sujanpur
Rajendra Rana had defeated BJP’s chief ministerial face Prem Kumar Dhumal in the 2017 election. This time the BJP is putting a lot of emphasis here. The BJP has played bets on the soldier and retired Captain Ranjit Singh from here. In Sujanpur, Union Minister Anurag Thakur has also campaigned personally for Ranjit Singh.
On the other hand, Shahpur assembly seat is the seat of Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Sarveen Chaudhary in Jairam Sarkar. Through this rally, BJP will try to capture more seats in the district.
PM Modi is continuously touring the state in view of the Himachal Assembly elections.
