Why Is Belagavi Important For The BJP
The BJP's Karnataka unit has planned a big show of strength during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Shivamogga and Belagavi today. The Prime Minister's itinerary comprises the launch of Shivamogga airport and a roadshow in Belagavi - part of an elaborate outreach plan ahead of the state polls due later this year. The Prime Minister's roadshow and frequent visits by top BJP leaders, including Home Minister Amit Shah, spark curiosity on why the party has doubled its focus on a region that is a BJP bastion anyway.
