Similarly in Rajasthan where the BJP is facing a tough fight from the Congress to retain power, the Prime Minister will address public meeting at Jodhpur on December 3 and in Hanumangarh, Sikar and Jaipur on December 4.
The Congress president will also be in the state on December 4, when he will address public meetings at Malakhera in Alwar district, Surajgarh in Jhunjhunu district and Salumber in Udaipur district.
Polling for the the 200seat Rajasthan Assembly and 119 member Assembly in Telangana is scheduled on December 7 and counting for these two states, along with Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Mizoram, where polling is over, will be on December 11.
Meanwhile, senior Congress leader and former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot on Sunday accused the BJP of mixing politics with caste and other issues.
“There is huge resentment among people against chief minister Vasundhara Raje. Asking about mother and father of anyone can be an issue of criticism, but it cannot be an issue of doing politics,” Mr Gehlot told reporters in Bikaner.
“BJP is not doing politics based on issues. It has mixed other issues, including castes,” he said.
