NDA's anniversary celebrations to begin from Mathura with Narendra Modi's rally

NEW DELHI/MATHURA: Celebrations to commemorate the completion of first year of NDA government would commence from the native village of Jan Sangh leader Deen Dayal Upadhyay on May 25 with a public rally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Modi will address the rally at village Nagla Chandrabhan in Mathura of Uttar Pradesh, which is Upadhyay's birth place.

BJP sources said this will be the first of a series of public rallies being organised by BJP across the country during the week long celebrations from May 26 to 31 that will be addressed by various leaders.

The party and government will commemorate the completion of one year of its government as 'Jan Kalyan Parv' celebrations.

Union ministers and BJP MPs and functionaries will fan out across the country to tell people about the welfare measures taken for the underprivileged sections and farmers as part of a week-long 'Jan Kalyan Parv' which the party has lined up to mark the NDA government's completion of one year in office.

Meanwhile, party leaders in Mathura are expecting declaration of a few welfare schemes on the occasion by Modi, that would be a befitting tribute to Upadhyay.
