PM Modi to launch 2019 LS poll campaign from Sonia's constituency on Dec 16

Lucknow, Dec 10: Soon after the poll results of five state assemblies on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to launch his aggressive election campaign for 2019 from Rae Bareli — the parliamentary constituency of UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on December 16.

Though the PM's visit will be to flag off the 900 newly-built coaches at Modern Rail Coach Factory at Lalganj in the district, senior BJP leaders monitoring the preparation work on ground said that the "official trip" to the eastern UP city will be a clear message to party workers for an intense electoral campaign.

After Rae Bareli, the prime minister will visit Prayagraj (Allahabad) on the same day for monitoring the Kumbh preparations. Later in the month on December 29, Mr Modi will also be visiting his constituency of Varanasi and address a Rajbhar rally in eastern UP town of Ghajipur.

Uttar Pradesh, civil Aviation and Registration minister and minister in-charge of Rae Bareli Nand Gopal Gupta Nandi told UNI here on Monday that PM during his brief visit will address a public meeting in Rae Bareli after flagging off the 900 newly built coaches at the Modern Rail coach factory.

He said over 3 lakh people will attend the PM's rally in Rae Bareli for which preparation has already begun.

Having faced an aggressive resurgent, Congress in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chattisgarh, BJP leadership realises that 'Road to 2019' is not easy. Party will also be faced with a formidable challenge in UP, as BSP and SP look all set for an electoral alliance.

In this backdrop, BJP's top leadership, especially party president Amit Shah and PM Modi, probably want to keep the cadre high in spirit, and the Rae Bareli visit fits right into that perspective. Thus, giving out a message that party is neither on the defensive nor lacking in aggression.

BJP spokesperson Dr Chandra Mohan, however, said, "No constituency or area is anyone's personal fiefdom. Rae Bareli and Amethi had lacked on development for decades."

He further said, "Prime Minister's visit to the town is in tune to our promise of bringing development back to this region,"

Meanwhile, sources said PM Modi will also talk about the corruption charges surrounding the Gandhi family in his public address, the glimpses of which we had seen during his speeches for Vidhan Sabha elections recently.

Early next year in January, PM Modi will be attend the Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas in Varanasi and will visit Kumbh as a devotee.
