For BJP India will always be bigger than the party. I want to tell the country that when it comes to the security of the country, the needs of the army, the honor of the soldiers should be supreme. We take care of only one thing - national interest.
The people of the party that raises questions on surgical strikes, trust enemy’s claims more than our Army, what can be expected of them?

The district of Raebareli, was created by the British in 1858. Town was founded by the Bhars and was known as Bharauli or Barauli which in course of time got corrupted into Bareli. The prefix, Rae, is said to be a corruption of Rahi, a village 5km. west of the town. It is also said that the prefix, Rae, represents Rae, the common title of the Kayasths who were masters of the town for a considerable period of time.
The Congress has accused the Modi government of derailing the development of Rae Bareli. But Union Finance Minister and Rajya Sabha member Arun Jaitley recently spent his MPLAD funds on developmental works in the constituency.
Raebareli visit is being considered as a significant one considering the fact that this is Prime Minister Modi's first trip to the traditional seat of the Gandhi family.
