Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is among the star campaigners from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the Bihar assembly polls. Reports suggest that he is the most sought after campaigner.

In Uttar Pradesh, Adityanath is taking the campaign seriously for the upcoming bypolls.

He will be leading his party's campaign this week. Adityanath will address rallies with the state unit president Swatantradev Singh. Last week, Adityanath addressed a rally in Tundla and Bulandshahr.

This week, he will be holding rallies in Amroha, Kanpur and Unnao. He will also visit Jaunpur this week.

While Adityanath is leading the campaign for the party candidates in UP, his opponent, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav seems to be restricting himself to virtual rallies in support of candidates from his party.

He is one of the campaigners in the party and he is expected to hold virtual rallies in each constituency.

Reportedly, the others are Kiranmay Nanda, Ram Gopal Yadav, Indrajit Saroj, Ramgovind Chaudhary and Naresh Uttam and former supremo of SP Mulayam Singh Yadav.

SP's virtual rallies will be shared by the party on social media platforms. The focus is expected to be on issues that Yadav has been pressing Adityanath on during the last few months.

These include state law and order, unemployment, caste issues and the perceived targeting of criminals from some castes.
