PM Modi will address campaign rallies on April 23 and 24 in Sarguja, Mahasamund, and Janjgir-Champa Lok Sabha constituencies, he added.

Polling will be held for Rajnandgaon, Mahasamund, and Kanker seats in the second phase on April 26. Shah landed at Swami Vivekanand Airport in Raipur on Sunday evening and chaired a meeting of senior party leaders at the state BJP headquarters.

The visit of Modi and Shah comes against the backdrop of the biggest encounter in Kanker district wherein 29 Naxalites were gunned down by security personnel on April 16.
