Modi to address his maiden rally in UP today

October 19, 2013 09:43

Bharatiya Janata Party prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will address his maiden rally in the politically crucial state of Uttar Pradesh on Saturday.

Elaborative arrangements have been set in place to make Modi's Kanpur rally a huge hit.

A vaastu compliant stage that is 100-feet long, astrologers propitiating the gods and invitations sent through social networking sites -- the BJP has pulled out all stops to make its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's maiden rally in Uttar Pradesh at Kanpur Oct 19 a success.

The selection of the venue to be addressed by Modi is interesting as Kanpur is represented by three-time MP and central coal minister Shri Prakash Jaiswal. Party sources say six other rallies will be held with Modi at different places in the state in the run up to the Lok Sabha election due next year.
