Rakshit also mentioned that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda, and party MP Hema Malini are expected to visit the northeastern state to bolster the party’s campaign. A wishlist for star campaigners has already been forwarded to the party’s central leadership.
