Mangaluru, Jan 8: BJP district unit president Pratap Simha Nayak said that the party national president Amit Shah would visit the coastal city of Mangaluru on January 27 to participate in a public meeting.
Announcing this at a press conference here on Thursday, he said that the district unit had a target of inducting 4 lakh new members into the party by the end of the membership campaign. The district unit has identified over a thousand party members to actively engage in door-to-door campaigning for the membership campaign which began on November 1. Conventions of active party members will be held in all eight assembly constituencies of the district within the arrival of the party national president in the district, he said.
He said that the conventions would be held in Sullia and Mangaluru constituencies on January 15, Mangaluru North, Mangaluru South and Moodbidri constituencies on January 18, Belthangady constituency on January 21 and Puttur constituency on January 22.
The party has decided on a target of inducting 50,000 new members in each assembly constituency by the end of February. Active party members will engage in door-to-door campaigning on January 10 and 11 and also on January 24 and 25, in an effort to reach out to as many citizens as possible, he added.
Reacting on the verbal battle between Assembly Speaker Kagodu Thimmappa and former union minister Janardhan Poojary, Mr Nayak said that criticising the Speaker and making an issue out of it was shameful. Janardhan Poojary should clarify which of the Rules of Procedure is being violated by the Speaker when he pointed out shortcomings of the state government, he said.
