Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Gorakhpur on Friday where he will fulfil two promises made by him during the 2014 Lok Sabha polls -- setting up an AIIMS hospital and second revival of the fertilizer unit.

During his around four-hour long visit to Gorakhpur, the centrepoint of the backward eastern Uttar Pradesh, PM Modi would address a conference and unveil the statue of Mahant Avaidnath at the Gorakshnath temple.

The PM will also address a mammoth public rally at the Fertilizer ground after laying the foundation of AIIMs and the revival of the fertilizer unit where Union Health Minister J P Nadda, Union MSME Minister Kalraj Mishra, Union Chemicals and Fertilizer Minister Anant Kumar, Union Energy Minister Piyush Goel and Gorakhpur BJP MP Yogi Adityanath will be present.
