Prime Minister Narendra Modi will formally kick off Bharatiya Janata Party's campaign for the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls on Saturday at a mega rally at the iconic Ramlila Maidan.
PM Modi will be the face of BJP's campaign in the city and the party feels the rally will help it build a momentum for the election.
As all high-profile leaders are expected at the venue on that day, safety is a prime concern for the BJP. Therefore, over 100 CCTV cameras have been put in place.
At least a dozen metal detectors, X-ray machines and numerous barricades have also been placed at all strategic points.
BJP has been out of power in Delhi for the past 16 years and its Delhi chief Satish Upadhyay said the party was confident of winning the polls with a clear majority this time with the help of Modi's charisma.
