Yogi to start local bodies election campaign from Ayodhya

November 09, 2017 22:23

Bringing Ayodhya once again on the centerstage, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will start his campaign for the upcoming local bodies election from the temple town on November 14.

The civic polls, to be held in three phases from November 22, is seen as a litmus test for the Yogi Adityanath government's popularity. The BJP came to the power in March with a landslide victory.

Adityanath will address a rally each in all the 16 poll-bound municipalities in the state.

"The CM will start his campaign from Ayodhya on November 14," party sources said.
