Asking local leaders to make Prime Minister  Narendra Modi’s visit to Rae Bareli a huge success, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reviewed arrangements made at Modern Rail Coach Factory at Lalganj on Thursday.

The Prime Minister is scheduled to visit Rail Coach Factory on December 16.

Yogi met the local administration officials and oversaw the ground where the rally would be organised after Modi flags off over 900 rail coaches.
