“The Prime Minister will be back in his parliamentary constituency in the evening to address a public meeting,” BJP national general secretary Bhupendra Yadav said. The Prime Minister is expected to hold two more election meetings in Varanasi – on Sunday and Monday.
Top leaders of the party and members of the Union council of ministers have been camping in the city to galvanise public support in favour of the BJP, which is aiming at a revival in the state where it had been in decline for more than a decade before making a dramatic comeback in the 2014 general elections when it won a stunning 71 Lok Sabha seats in UP, its best-ever performance till date.
