UP Polls: Amit Shah to conduct door-to-door campaign in Kairana on Saturday

New Delhi, Jan 21: After the poll dates were announced, Home Minister Amit Shah will be taking part in his first political programme in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday.

Shah will be on a door-to-door campaign in support of the BJP candidate in the western UP constituency of Kairana on Saturday, PTI reported.

The minister, who is a key strategist of the BJP and monitoring party's campaign in the politically crucial state, will be meeting party workers in Shamli and Baghpat, sources said, adding that he will later have an interaction with eminent citizens in Meerut.

Shah's choice of Kairana is significant as BJP leaders had alleged in the run-up to the 2017 assembly polls that a large number of Hindus were forced to migrate from the area due to threats.

So far, the saffron party has released two list of candidates who will contest in the forthcoming Uttar Pradesh elections.
