J&K poll: PM Narendra Modi to address rallies in state on Nov 21, 22

Srinagar, Nov 13: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address public rallies in Jammu and Kashmir Nov 21 and 22, BJP sources said here Thursday.

"Modi will address public rallies in Ganderbal district and Srinagar district Nov 21. He will also address public rallies in Jammu region Nov 22," top BJP sources told IANS here.

The BJP is fielding candidates in all the 87 assembly seats in Jammu and Kashmir and is fighting these elections without forging alliances with any political party in the state.

The BJP recently revised its much hyped 44 plus plan for the state assembly polls to 50 plus, indicating the party's seriousness about winning as many seats as possible.

Sajad Lone of the People's Conference recently met Modi in New Delhi. In an interview to IANS, Sajad said he is not working on any pre-poll alliance with the BJP.

Sajad, however, admitted that his party was open to considering options after the poll results, depending on the numbers thrown up by the results.
