Eye on Lok Sabha Polls, PM Modi to Hold Rally in Punjab's Gurdaspur

New Delhi: For his first rally of 2019, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be in Punjab’s Gurdaspur town on Thursday as part of the BJP’s campaign to organize 100 rallies before the Lok Sabha elections. Rally Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Punjab - will launch election campaign for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance.
