Delhi: PM Modi expected to share stage with Dushyant Chautala in Delhi to woo Jat votes

As the heat of Delhi election intensifies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to share the stage with Haryana Deputy Chief Minister and ally Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) Chief Dushyant Chautala in a massive rally at Dwarka. The move is aimed at reaching out to the influential Jat community in the poll-bound Delhi. It is said that JJP leader has been specially brought in to seek Jat votes, a dominant caste in the urban villages of the west and north Delhi.

This will be Modi's second rally in two days. With just two more days left for campaigning, the rallies of the Prime Minister are being considered vital for creating an atmosphere in favour of the local party unit.
