Gujarat Chief Minister Anandi Patel will be addressing campaign rallies in Mumbai and elsewhere in poll-bound Maharashtra on October 11 and 12.
On 11th, she will address rallies for BJP candidates in Karjat and Dahanu, and in Mumbai suburbs of Kandivali and Dahisar. The next day she will address a rally in Vile Parle in Mumbai and later in Akola, Nashik and Navapur, according to a statement by Gujarat BJP.
Kandivali and Vile Parle have sizeable Gujarati populations.
Shiv Sena, following the end of its alliance with BJP, had targeted the Gujarat CM when she recently exhorted the industrialists in Mumbai to shift to her state.
Patel will be accompanied by Gujarat BJP spokesperson I K Jadeja and state education minister Bhupendrasinh Chudasama, among others, BJP's media convener Harshad Patel said.
"Gujarat BJP leaders will address rallies or remain present at public gatherings in 72 assembly constituencies in Maharashtra. Om Mathur and Bhikhu Dalsania will monitor the poll campaign from BJP office in Mumbai," said Harshad Patel.
Other state BJP leaders who will tour Maharashtra include minister of state Shanker Chaudhari and Valsad MP K C Patel(in Ahmednagar), Navsari MP C R Patil (in Jalgaon), forest minister Ganpatsinh Vasava (in Dhule) and law minister Pradeepsinh Jadeja (in Chinchvad).
