The names of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath figure in the list of 40 star campaigners of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the next month's Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections.
The ruling party in the State issued the list on October 27.
