JAMMU, Mar 1: Venue of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Srinagar on March 7 has been shifted from Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Centre (SKICC) to Bakshi Stadium.
This will be Modi’s first visit to Kashmir after the J&K’s special status was scrapped in August 2019 and the erstwhile State was bifurcated into two Union Territories.
“Initially the public rally in Srinagar was planned at SKICC, but now the venue has been shifted to Bakshi stadium as large people are expected to attend and hear the Prime Minister,” a BJP leader said.
The BJP has already begun the preparations for Modi’s mega rally in Kashmir.
The Prime Minister’s visit to the Valley comes at a time when J&K is gearing up for the Lok Sabha polls.
Last week, the Prime Minister visited Jammu where he addressed a public rally, laid the foundation stone and inaugurated multiple projects worth over Rs 32,000 crore and also launched the first electric train in the Valley.
