Election Campaigns Set To Turn Hotter In Maharashtra: PM Modi To Address 10 Rallies Before 21 October Polls 

With the assembly elections approaching, Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi is set to hold as many as 10 rallies across the state of Maharashtra to endorse the re-election of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena alliance government led by incumbent Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis, reports Indian Express.

Giving further thrust to the BJP's campaigning, incumbent party chief and Union Minister for Home Affairs Amit Shah is also expected to hold as many as 15-20 rallies in the state in the days to come.

The decision by PM Modi and Shah to join the party's poll promotion activities will provide further thrust to Fadnavis led state unit. Fadnavis himself will be addressing as many as 60 rallies across the length and breadth of the state in the upcoming days.

It should be noted that Fadnavis is the first CM of the state of Maharashtra in about five decades to have completed an entire term and is aiming to get re-elected. The BJP led by him is likely to contest the polls on over 155-162 seats, while the Shiv Sena is expected to contest the polls in other 126 seats.
