Union home minister Shri Amit Shah will lay the foundation stone of ‘Maa Shakumbhari University’ in Saharanpur district. @UPGovt is committed to provide higher education to the students in the state,” he said on social media platform Koo.
The ceremony is scheduled to take place at 1pm.
This comes just months ahead of the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections in 2022.
In the 2017 last assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) bagged 312 seats out of the 403-seat Uttar Pradesh Assembly while Samajwadi Party (SP) bagged 47 seats, Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) won 19 and Congress could manage to win only seven seats. The rest of the seats were bagged by other candidates.
This time, the BJP is determined to retain power and has left no stone unturned to make sure that its dream is realized. All the top leaders of the party, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has made multiple visits to the state to give a boost to the party’s campaign.
Shah, credited with the BJP’s brilliant performances in the last assembly elections and Lok Sabha polls, is looking after the entire strategy this time too.
The BJP, also ruling the Centre, recently announced the scrapping of the three farm laws which triggered protests across the country, especially in farmer-dominant western region of the state. The move is being seen as the party’s efforts to placate the farmers and strengthen its presence in the western region of the state.
