Manipur Unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is now set to hold a huge public rally at Basu Ground in Thoubal district on March 19 in an apparent move to offset and coincide with the planned election rally of AICC Vice-President Rahul Gandhi at Kodompokpi Ground, Wangjing in the same district.
BJP's star campaigner and leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj, Opposition leader in Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley, National President Rajnath Singh, film star Hema Malini, National Spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi, National Spokesperson Nalin S Kohli, Chairman of North East Election Campaign Committee SS Ahluwalia have been invited to take part in the proposed election campaign, sources in the State BJP informed Saturday.
The BJP will be announcing more names of the party's star campaigners soon for the Lok Sabha polls in different States after the Election Commission of India issues election notification, they said.
A strategy for reducing expenditure on election campaigning by star campaigners of the party has also been put in place, the sources further said.
