Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi to campaign in five districts in Karnataka: Jagadish Shettar
Narendra Modi will campaign in five districts for Karnataka assembly elections, Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar said today amid speculation on the extent of the Gujarat Chief Minister's role in the canvassing.
"The party will utilise Modi's services...," Shettar told reporters after the party's foundation day celebrations here.
Modi will campaign in five districts, the Chief Minister said without elaborating. There are 30 districts in the state.
There has been speculation that Modi may not like to involve himself deeply in the May 5 assembly polls in Karnataka where the BJP is facing an uphill task in retaining its turf.
BJP yesterday had announced candidates for 140 seats of the 225-member assembly that includes one nominated member. The list includes names of Shettar, Deputy Chief Ministers R Ashoka and K S Eshwarappa from their home constituencies.
