Sarma, who is also in-charge of the BJP�s election campaign in the Marxist-ruled state, is scheduled to address a rally in a place which falls under Chief Minister Manik Sarkar�s home turf- Dhanpur in Sepahijala district.
Meanwhile, the BJP has planned to hold rallies at various places to mobilise party leaders and activists. �We are hopeful of gathering over two lakh people in the proposed rallies scheduled to begin from�Wednesday�, said party state president Biplab Deb here.
