Modi to address BJP rally in Kanpur

Kanpur, Oct 19 (ANI): Gujarat Chief Minister and the Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will address a party rally in Kanpur on Saturday. The holding of the rally in Kanpur, which is widely regarded as a bastion of the Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh (RSS), is being projected as a crucial strategic move to snare as many Lok Sabha seats as possible out of the total 80 seats that are up for grabs in Uttar Pradesh during next year's general election. An election survey conducted in July 2013, has said that the BJP is likely to get a vote share of 27 per cent in Uttar Pradesh, and can be expected to win between 29 and 33 seats. Oct 19, 2013
