New Delhi:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaches Nagaland to address a public meeting in Tuensang. The election rallies in Nagaland and Meghalaya are an attempt to boost BJP's prospects of victory in the two poll-bound states. The two North-Eastern states will go to vote on February 27. The BJP is making a strong pitch in both the states to expand its footprints in north-eastern India after forming governments in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur. BJP, which has fielded candidates in 47 seats out of a total of 60 in Meghalaya, is making strong efforts to throw Congress out of power.

In Nagaland, PM Modi will address an election rally at Tuensang district, about 360 km from state capital Kohima, state BJP General Secretary Gaangsilung told news agency PTI.

The Prime Minister will be in Meghalaya today afternoon to address a rally in Phulbari followed by a rally in West Garo HIlls district, which is considered a Congress bastion.
