Shah to address local BJP leaders in Chhattisgarh ahead of polls

BJP president Amit Shah will be visiting the BJP-ruled Chhattisgarh Friday, a party spokesperson said. Among other events, he will address a regional meeting of BJP leaders and workers here.

He is also slated to visit Shadani Darbar, a prominent religious place of the Sindhi community on the outskirts of Raipur.

Assembly elections are due in the state by year-end. Shah's visit could also be significant as it is taking place a day after the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) announced an alliance with former Chhattisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi's party, Janata Congress Chhattisgarh.
