BJP national president JP Nadda will be on a two-day visit to poll-bound Karnataka on 20 and 21 February to take part in various activities and events aimed at preparing and strengthening the party for Assembly elections in Karnataka which is likely by April or May.

Karnataka BJP general secretary and MLC N Ravi Kumar in a statement said, Nadda will arrive in Mangaluru on Sunday, 19 February night, and will be visiting parts of Udupi, Chikkamagaluru and Hassan districts during the next two days.

He said the BJP chief after arriving in Managluru will stay in the city. He will take part in the booth-level convention in Udupi on 20 February morning, later in the afternoon will attend a public meeting in Byndoor.

By evening that day, he will be in Koppa in Chikkamagaluru district to take part in the Arecanut growers convention and thereafter will participate in a public representative meeting at Sringeri.

Meeting with several groups

On 21 February, Nadda, who will take part in a meeting with “intellectuals” in Chikkamagaluru, will attend a public meeting at Beluru in Hassan district in the afternoon.

Kumar said, on the 21 February evening, Nadda will attend a booth-level convention in Hassan, following which he will fly to Delhi via Bengaluru.

BJP is considered to be strong in Udupi and Chikkamagaluru districts, however, the Sringeri in Chikkamagaluru district, which Nadda is visiting, is currently represented by Congress.

Hassan, the other district to which the BJP national president will be travelling, is a JD(S) bastion and the home turf of its patriarch and former prime minister HD Deve Gowda.

Six of the seven assembly segments in the district are represented by the JD(S). However, BJP made inroads by winning the Hassan seat in the 2018 assembly polls.
