The BJP in Goa has invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address a public meeting in the state and also lined up a number of senior party leaders for campaigning for the next month's Lok Sabha elections.
Voting for the two Lok Sabha seats in Goa will be held on April 23. By-elections to three Assembly constituencies - Shiroda, Mandrem and Mapusa - will also be held the same day.
"We have invited Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address a public meeting in Goa during the second week of April.
"We are waiting for his confirmation after which the exact date will be finalised," Goa BJP president Vinay Tendulkar told reporters here Thursday.
He said senior BJP leaders, including Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and Smriti Irani, will address election rallies in the coastal state.
Tendulkar said the BJP will re-nominate both its sitting Members of Parliament Shripad Naik (North Goa) and Narendra Sawaikar (South Goa).
He said the BJP's Central Election Committee will meet in New Delhi on March 18 to formally announce their candidature.
