BJP is working hard to mobilise a massive crowd at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposed rally at the birth place of Jansangh ideologue Deen Dayal Upadhyaya at Nagla Chandrabhan village in Uttar Pradesh's Mathura district on May 25. The rally marks completion of Modi's one year in office.

Though the state BJP sources here claimed that the party was expecting around three lakh people to attend the rally, senior police officials said that around two lakh gathering was expected.

Sources in the saffron party said that party workers from every part of the state were likely to attend the rally. “Though workers will come from all parts...the majority will be from the Brij (the region around Mathura) division”, said a senior party functionary here on Saturday. State BJP chief Luxmi Kant Bajpai had recently visited Mathura and held meetings with the local party leaders. 

Sources said that the party MPs and MLAs from the nearby constituencies had been entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring a huge turnout at the rally. Two quintals of flowers to be sourced from several places, including Bengaluru, would be used to decorate the stage from which Modi would be addressing the crowd.BJP sources also said that the PM might make some announcement with regard to ridding the Yamuna river of pollution keeping in mind the local sentiment on the issue.

Hundreds of people from Mathura and the temple town of Vrindavan had recently undertaken a foot march to Delhi to take up the issue of pollution of the Yamuna river.

The statue of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya at Nagla Chandrabhan, which was in a poor state, has also been renovated, according to the sources. Modi may garland the statue, sources added.
