Gandhinagar, 28th Nov. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address four public meetings in Gujarat ahead of the assembly elections.

Today, he will hold rallies in Anjar, Kutch, Gordhanpur, Bhavnagar, Palitana, Gordhanpura, and Rajkot.

As the first phase of the Gujarat Assembly elections approaches, parties are putting their heavyweights in the spotlight in an attempt to attract voters.

“PM Modi is coming again and we expect huge gatherings and people love to see him and listen. We expect to win all seats in Rajkot district,” Rajkot BJP president Kamlesh Mirani said.

Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah will hold election rallies in four different locations across Gujarat.

Home Minister Amit Shah will address public rallies in support of BJP candidates in Kheralu, Savli, Bhiloda, and Naranpura.

Assam Chief Minister Hemanta Biswa Sarma will campaign for the party as well.

Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Bhai Patel, Assam Chief Minister Hemanta Biswa Sharma, Union Ministers Smriti Irani and Purusottam Rupala, and other senior BJP leaders will hold public meetings and road shows throughout the state.

Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge will hold a press conference today in Ahmedabad. He is also scheduled to speak at election rallies in Mehsana and Ahmedabad.

Congress senior leader and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot will also campaign for the party.

Senior leaders of the Aam Aadmi Party will also speak at public meetings in support of the party’s candidates.

Earlier that day, on November 28, during PM Modi’s speech at a public rally in Surat, Gujarat, he accused the Congress party of being “well-wishers of terrorists” and questioned the Batla House encounter in 2008, which was an act of terrorism.

PM Modi declared the Batla House incident to be an act of terrorism, but Congress leaders questioned him.

“The new generation of Gujarat has not seen the serial bomb blasts of Ahmedabad and Surat. I want to caution them of those who are well-wishers of terrorists. Batla house encounter was an act of terrorism but Congress leaders had questioned it,” he said.

Gujarat Assembly elections are set to take place in two phases on December 1 and 5, with results coming on December 8.

The BJP won 99 seats out of a total of 182 in the 2017 Gujarat elections. The party has ruled for the past 27 years.

This time, the party is aiming for more than 140 seats under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and CR Patil.

The state has long been a BJP stronghold, and the party has set its sights on regaining power for a seventh time. From 2001 to 2014, Modi was Gujarat’s longest-serving chief minister.

The Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which has named Isudan Gadhvi as its chief ministerial candidate, will mount a strong electoral challenge.

The Congress hopes to unseat the BJP by putting its best electoral foot forward.
