Focus on PM's Saharanpur rally on the second anniversary of NDA govt on May 26

Saharanpur, May 24 (UNI) The second anniversary of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government here on May 26 will be a historic one with record attendance when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address a rally to launch the party election drive for 2017 Uttar Pradesh assembly polls. The Saharanpur rally would be followed by another PM's rally at the Sangam city of Allahabad on June 13 during the BJP's national executive meeting. Arrangements for making the rally successfully has been almost complete with the BJP leaders working over time to attract around 2 lakh people from the nearby districts and even from the adjoining Uttarakhand state, which will also go to polls along with UP next year. Interestingly, the place where the rally is being organised on the Delhi road in Saharanpur is the number one Behat assembly segement of the 403 assembly constitutencies of UP. Regional BJP vice-president Rampal Pundir told UNI here today that all arrangements were underway in a smooth manner for making this rally a historic one. "Mr Modi’s rally is not only aimed at celebrating two years of BJP-government but will also send a strong political message in Uttar Pradesh where Assembly polls are due early next year," Mr Pundir said. He claimed that the rally would be historic in terms of numbers as well as impact, as the Prime Minister’s popularity had increased after the victory in the Assam Assembly elections. BJP district units of Saharanpur, Shamli, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnore, Meerut and Baghpat are mobilising cadre and resources to ensure maximum participation of people at the rally, he further added. The rally is being seen as blowing of bugle for BJP's campaign for UP assembly elections in 2017. A senior party leader said, the PM has addressed a rally at Mathura, Bareilly and Noida, this area had been left out barring one sudden stopover rally at Saharanpur a few days before Bihar election commenced. The rally at Saharanpur would mark deep focus on the state by the BJP think-tank as it would be followed by another rally by PM Modi at Allahabad on June 13. Meanwhile, in another good gesture, a Muslim farmer has offered his eight acres farming land for the rally. The farmer had removed the crops before ripening so that PM Modi’s rally can be conducted easily on the land. A total of 265 acre land will be used to construct temporary pandal and stage for the grand rally. Raees Ahamad, who cultivates sugar-cane on his agricultural land, offered 8 acre land for Mr Modi’s rally. Raees was offered compensation for the land, but he refused to accept and gave land free of cost to hold rally. According to BJP MLA Rajiv Gumber, no agricultural land will be destroyed for holding rally of PM Modi. He also said that people of all caste and religion are coming forward and supporting the BJP for organising the grand event to mark the two years of Modi government. BJP is leaving no stone unturned to make the event grand success. On the other hand Haridwar city legislator Madan Kaushik and divisional president Pradeep Kalra in the adjoining Uttarakhand state have asked the BJP workers to ensure their maximum participation in the Saharanpur rally.BJP district party unit had booked 20 buses from Haridwar district. This is the second time UP has been chosen by the PM for such an event. two years in power. To celebrate completion of NDA's first year in power, the prime minister had addressed a rally at Nagla Chandrabhan in Mathura. UNI MB ADG SB1305
