Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Rajasthan on Wednesday to mark the start of BJP's month-long outreach campaign. The mega rally to be held by the Prime Minister at Ajmer comes as the state prepares for the Assembly elections later this year.
The campaign is being held to mark BJP's nine years in power at the Centre.
The Prime Minister will travel by helicopter from Kishangarh airport to the holy town of Pushkar, where he will offer prayers at the Brahma temple and visit the ghats, BJP sources told PTI.
He will then fly by helicopter to Kayad Vishram Sthali on the Jaipur road to address the rally. Union Ministers Arjun Ram Meghwal and Kailash Chaudhary, and other BJP leaders from Rajasthan will attend the meeting.
The mega rally is expected to be one of the largest ever conducted by the Prime Minister as the party expects over two lakh people to participate in it. BJP workers from 45 assembly and eight Lok Sabha constituencies are being mobilised for the rally, Ajmer North MLA Vasudev Devnani told reporters.
The constituencies fall in the districts of Ajmer, Nagaur, Tonk, Bhilwara, Rajsamand, Jaipur and Pali. Of these 45 Assembly seats, 21 are held by the Congress, 19 by the BJP, three by independents and two by the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party.
The Prime Minister had recently visited Rajsamand and Sirohi in the state.
Meanwhile, the outreach programme will highlight the achievements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government for the last nine years. According to the BJP, the country has witnessed "unprecedented" development in every sector with the mantra of "nation first" guiding Modi's policies.
The outreach programme will witness the party conducting over 51 huge rallies and public meetings at over 500 places across the country. This is in addition to the over 600 press conferences at over 500 Lok Sabha and 4000 Vidhan Sabha constituencies.
"As part of the campaign, party leaders will meet 1,000 eminent families per Lok Sabha segment, and conduct 51 mega rallies across India, along with seminars with teachers, social media influencers and other distinguished citizens," party national general secretary Tarun Chugh, coordinator for the programme, told reporters.
