New Delhi: Getting ready for the year-end Assembly polls in Rajasthan, the top BJP leadership is all set to visit the poll-bound state. Before the end of June, BJP chief J.P.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to make multiple visits in the coming months to inaugurate and lay the foundation of several development and welfare projects in the state.

Well-placed sources in the BJP told this newspaper that the defence minister will be visiting Jodhpur on June 28, Mr Nadda will be in Bharatpur on June 29, and the home minister will be in Udaipur on June 30.

“With the objective of cornering the Ashok Gehlot government for its failure on every front of governance, the BJP central leaders will now be regularly visiting the state. The visit of Mr Nadda, Mr Singh and Mr Shah at the end of June is just the beginning of it all,” party sources said.

It has been learnt that in the coming months, Mr Modi will visit different parts of the state before the Assembly polls to inaugurate or lay the foundation of several developments.

With an eye on the year-end Assembly polls, the BJP has actively started targeting the Gehlot-led state government on local issues, including corruption, law and order, atrocities against women and other issues to highlight the misrule.

“The visit by the BJP’s central leaders will be aimed at accelerating the momentum and also raising the morale of the cadre. It also helps in keeping a check on factionalism in the party,” the source said.

Apart from the visits of the central leaders, the Rajasthan BJP, is also going to start various campaigns to expose the failure of the Gehlot government.

The Rajasthan assembly polls will be held in November-December this year.
