Modi in Ajmer: Ahead of assembly election in Rajasthan, PM says 'BJP does not believe in Hindus-Muslims politics'

Jaipur: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing a rally in Ajmer in Rajasthan today, marking the conclusion of Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje's state-wide yatra ahead of assembly elections in the state. Earlier, Modi was scheduled to visit Brahma temple in Pushkar town but now he will only attend the Ajmer rally. Raje, BJP state president Madan Lal Saini and other leaders reviewed on Friday the preparations for the rally to be held at Kayad Vishram Sthali on the outskirts of Ajmer where party leaders claimed nearly three lakh people would come. "This will be a historic rally of the prime minister which will be participated by a large number of people," Onkar Singh Lakhawat, the chairman of Rajasthan Heritage Preservation and Promotion Authority, said. He said the party workers were "fully geared up and filled with enthusiasm" for the rally.

The rally marks the completion of Raje's 'Rajasthan Gaurav Yatra' which she had begun from Rajsamand's Charbhujanath temple. Ajmer district has eight assembly constituencies and seven of them are represented by BJP MLAs while the Congress has one seat of Nasirabad. The ruling party, which had lost the Ajmer Lok Sabha constituency to Congress in bypolls held earlier this year, is trying to build a favourable atmosphere and mood among the voters by holding the rally of Modi, who had addressed an election rally in Ajmer in 2013 also. The Congress had won the Ajmer Lok Sabha seat by defeating BJP's Ramswaroop Lamba who is the son of former Ajmer MP Sanwar Lal Jat. The seat went to bypoll after the then sitting MP Sanwar Lal Jat died due to cardiac arrest last year.
