Mangaluru, Aug 13: In spite of his busy schedule in Uttar Pradesh and other poll-bound states, Bharatiya Janata Party national president Amit Shah will pay a visit to Managluru city and its communally sensitive suburbs on August 21.

amitEven though Dakshina Kannada district unit of BJP has claimed that Mr Shah's visit would be a part of the 70th Independence Day celebrations, it appears to be an attempt to intensify the strengthening process of the saffron party in the region aiming 2018 Assembly polls.

BJP district president Sanjeeva Matandoor told media persons on Saturday that Mr Shah would arrive in the city in the wee hours. He would plant saplings near BJP office in the city and later flag off a 'Thiranga Yatra' at Mahaveer Circle.

Later, Mr Shah would visit Ullal and take part in Balidana Smarane, a programme to remember freedom fighters, who died in the struggle for Independence. He would also take part in a party workers' convention at Konaje, Mr Matandoor said adding that a detailed itinerary will be released once the programme schedule is finalised.

Union minister of statistics and programme implementation D V Sadananda Gowda, former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa, other national and state leaders too will take part in the programme, he said.

I-Day celebrations

Mr Matandoor said that union minister of state for skill development and entrepreneurship (independent charge) Rajiv Pratap Rudy would participate in the 70th Independence Day celebrations of BJP district unit on August 15.

He said the party has planned various programmes in the district to celebrate 70th Independence Day as per directions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Tricolor will be unfurled at the party office in the city on August 15.
