New Delhi: On Saturday, with an eye on the Lok Sabha polls that are a few weeks from now, BJP president Amit Shah will launch nationwide bike rallies from Madhya Pradesh's Shahdol. According to reports, the BJP has planned 3800 bike rallies, dubbed as "Vijay Sankalpa rally", to mark the party's presence in every parliamentary constituency before the general elections. Senior party leaders, including Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, will be part of rallies in their respective constituencies.
However, the rallies are part of BJP's pre-election campaigning aiming to energise the cadre and sound the poll bugle across the nation. Last week, they had carried out a similar rally, named Kamal Jyoti Sankalpa, across major states. While the bike rally will be launched today by Amit Shah, who is on a one-day visit to Madhya Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a mega rally in Dhar district of the state on March 5.

While reports doing rounds are anything to go by then Prime Minister Narendra Modi will repeat his 2013-14 rally run in this time as well, with more than two dozen rallies alone in the south India, where the party has never managed to win big. According to reports, the BJP has identified 122 constituencies in West Bengal, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Assam and other north-eastern states where PM Modi will focus in the run-up to the elections.
Yesterday, PM Modi was in Tamil Nadu where he addressed a mega rally in Kanyakumari evoking the recent air strikes by the Indian Air Force across the Line of Control (LoC) to attack the Congress saying that the grand old party blocked surgical strikes post 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008 that were proposed by the forces.
