Mumbai: Days before the six constituencies in the city go to poll, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is planning to hold a roadshow on May 15 and a public rally on May 17 in Shivaji Park, where he will be joined by MNS chief Raj Thackeray, according to BJP insiders.

On his first visit, he may hold a roadshow from Ghatkopar to Mulund, where the BJP has fielded Mulund legislator Mihir Kotecha by denying a ticket to sitting MP Manoj Kotak.

Kotecha who is in a fierce contest with Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate Sanjay Patil could benefit from the roadshow, feel the party insiders. The Marathi versus Gujarati controversy has been a factor in this constituency. Recently, Shiv Sena (UBT) candidate was not allowed to enter housing societies in Gujarati-dominated areas which is now being used as an issue by the Thackeray faction.

Party insiders say a helipad could be made at Mulund which Modi would reach by helicopter and then travel by LBS Marg to reach Ghatkopar.
