The ruling BJP plans to launch its campaign for the April-May national election with 500 "Vijay Sankalp Sabha" events across the nation, each led by a prominent party leader starting from party chief Amit Shah. The Vijay Sankalp or "victory pledge" meets will be held on Sunday and Tuesday.
The events will be held in 480 of the country's 543 Lok Sabha constituencies, say party leaders.
Amit Shah is likely to preside over a Vijay Sankalp Sabha in Uttar Pradesh. Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will do so in Delhi.
Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh will preside over Vijay Sankalp Sabha events in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.
On March 24 and March 26, many BJP leaders are expected to file their nominations after which the meetings would take place.
