“BJP leader Parvesh Verma, who is an MP from West Delhi, has been asked to look after the preparations of Modi’s rallies to be held in his constituency. Besides, South Delhi MP Ramesh Bidhuri will oversee the preparations of PM’s rally in south district. BJP MPs have clearly been asked to ensure good attendance of voters at the venues,” he said.

BJP is leaving no stone unturned in its bid to return to power after a gap of 16 years in the national capital. Modi had addressed a public rally on January 10 at the Ramlila Ground here in which chief ministers of Haryana, Jharkhand and Maharashtra — three states where BJP recently formed its government — too, had appealed for support for the party.
