Defence minister Rajnath Singh will participate in a memorial meeting for Kalyan Singh– the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) first chief minister in Uttar Pradesh and a torch bearer of the Ram temple movement– in Lucknow on Tuesday and launch and inaugurate some developmental projects in the city.
Kalyan Singh died in Lucknow on August 21 at the age of 89 after ailing for some time.
His memorial meeting is being held at a city school, BJP’s Lucknow unit chief Mukesh Sharma said.
Sharma added that the defence minister will reach Lucknow at 11.45am on Tuesday.
“Soon after reaching Lucknow, his motorcade will leave for the old city where he will inaugurate a multi-level parking,” Sharma said. The multi-level parking has been named after Dalit icon Jyotiba Phule.
