“I feel festivities should be kept aside from politics. But if the PM is visiting UP, he must have thought this through. Could be that he might gift something to the state of UP,” he said.

At a huge rally on Sunday in Lucknow, opposition leader, and BSP Supremo Mayawati, also said PM Modi’s visit is “politically motivated“.

In a deviation from culture, PM Modi will not join Dussehra celebrations at Delhi’s popular Ramlila Maidan, but in Lucknow, he will set fire to a massive Ravan effigy.
