New Delhi: Breaking from tradition, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will attend the historic Aishbagh Ramlila in Lucknow on Dussehra next week, seen as yet another attempt to connect to the people of poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.
BJP vice president and Lucknow Mayor Dinesh Sharma, who is also the Ramlila’s patron, said Modi has accepted his invitation to attend the October 11 event, which dates back to the times of Hindu saint Tulsidas.
The Prime Minister will participate in the ‘aarti’ and then fire the symbolic arrow to burn the effigy of demon king Ravana, he said.
Usually, the Prime Ministers have celebrated the festival in the national capital.
