Modi to visit Assam in February

Modi to visit Assam in February

New Delhi, Jan 9 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit poll bound Assam in February to boost the morale of party workers and leaders ahead of the state Assembly elections.

BJP sources here on Saturday said, the dates of PM's visit to the state are being "finalised" by the party central leadership.

The sources also informed that in the run-up to the Assam polls, scheduled to be held in April-May, the Prime Minister may visit the state four to five times.

The PM will visit Assam in line with party's "Mission 2021," eyeing the coming five Assembly elections, flagged off on Friday by BJP national president J P Nadda with his Bengal visit.

Earlier, the BJP had decided to send the party top brass to all the five states going to polls ahead of the elections, starting with Bengal.

Assam will go to polls alongside four other state polls.

Bengal, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry will also go to polls during the same period.
