Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting poll-bound Manipur today to inaugurate 13 projects and lay foundation stones of nine more. The 22 projects taken together are worth Rs 4,800 crore. On Wednesday, he will be laying foundation stones of development projects worth over Rs 42,750 crore, including the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra expressway and a PGI satellite centre.

On Monday, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav claimed that Lord Krishna comes to his dreams every night to tell him that he would form the government and establish Ram Rajya in Uttar Pradesh after the state’s upcoming assembly polls. Former UP chief minister Yadav made the claim, albeit in a lighter vein, during a function held for the induction of BJP’s Bahraich MLA Madhuri Verma into his party.
