Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will depart for the national capital on Sunday to campaign for the Bharatiya Janata Party candidates in the Delhi Assembly elections, official sources said.
Naidu will leave from Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad this afternoon and is expected to reach Delhi by 5 pm, they said.
Telugu Desam Party is the second largest constituent in the National Democratic Alliance following BJP, with 16 Lok Sabha seats.
Naidu, who will be, reportedly, going to New Delhi on Saturday, will campaign in parts of Delhi, especially in the areas with a significant Telugu voter base, on February 2 (Sunday).
It has been learnt that BJP’s local leaders have already finalised the campaign schedule.
Reports suggest that around six lakh voters from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana reside in Delhi.
As per the significance of each constituency, the BJP is leaving no stone unturned to secure victory.
Reports suggest that Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan will also join the Delhi election campaign, but no official schedule has been announced yet.
The election campaign will conclude on February 3, with polling scheduled for February 5.
In the Maharashtra assembly elections last year, both Chandrababu Naidu and Pawan Kalyan were scheduled to campaign for BJP in Maharashtra, but Naidu had to return due to the demise of his brother Ramamurthy Naidu.
Pawan Kalyan, however, campaigned in Maharashtra, and the BJP-led alliance secured a sweeping victory in the constituencies where he campaigned.
