As the next phase of elections in Uttar Pradesh looms closer, political leaders are intensifying their efforts to sway voters.
Over the next two days, senior BJP leader and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead campaign efforts across the state.
PM Modi’s itinerary includes seven rallies spread across eleven Lok Sabha constituencies, commencing today with engagements in Jaunpur, Bhadohi, Pratapgarh, and Azamgarh. Following an overnight stay at the governor’s house in Lucknow, he is set to address three more rallies tomorrow in Barabanki, Fatehpur, and Hamirpur constituencies. These strategic rallies are timed to coincide with the forthcoming 5th and 6th phases of polling.
Meanwhile, Fatehpur emerges as another political hotspot today, as senior BJP leader Yogi Adityanath, alongside opposition figures Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati, are slated to campaign there. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra of the Congress Party will be actively canvassing for her brother Rahul Gandhi in the Raebareli constituency. Additionally, Deputy Chief Minister of Karnataka and senior Congress leader DK Shivkumar is scheduled to hold a press conference in Lucknow.
In a separate development, Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal arrived in the state capital of Lucknow last night. He is expected to hold a press conference at the Samajwadi Party office today. These strategic moves underscore the escalating efforts of various political parties to secure voter support as the election momentum builds up.
