Amit Shah, BJP president, will virtually sound the party’s poll bugle for the 2019 Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections during a motorcycle rally in Jind on February 15.

The BJP, at the receiving end of the Opposition onslaught over the rising crime graph, has decided to showcase the party president’s visit as an occasion to ‘kick off’ it’s poll campaign to enthuse party workers ahead of the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections in 2019.

“The motorcycle rally, in which thousands of party workers would come from across the state, will be patterned on the rally organised to project Narendra Modi as the prime ministerial candidate on September 15, 2013, ahead of the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. The Jind rally will mark the kicking off the election campaign by Amit Shah for the 2019 parliamentary and Assembly elections,” state BJP’s media in charge Rajiv Jain told The Tribune.

Jain said the rally was a part of the ‘Mission Vistaar’ to strength the party organisation at the booth level and gear up the party cadre for the forthcoming parliamentary and Assembly elections.

Last week, senior central and state leaders, including Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, came together at a state-level meeting of the party at Jind to deliberate on preparations for Shah’s upcoming visit to Jind. The BJP is planning a hold a mega motorcycle rally of over 1 lakh motorcycles from the across the state.

Besides addressing the rally, Shah is scheduled to inaugurate party offices in 14 districts and lay the foundation stones of the party offices for the remaining districts on that day.
