Twitter war and controversial temple visit heat up UP assembly by-polls
As the assembly by-election dates approach in Uttar Pradesh, a Twitter war has erupted between the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the BJP to woo their respective vote banks.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Wednesday asked BJP leaders here to start preparations for the 2019 Lok Sabha polls by seeking feedback on the government from the people and working on verification of booths.
The CM also held a meeting with BJP presidents of all districts in the Gorakhpur, Basti and Azamgarh divisions, and asked them to start preparing for 2019 without delay.
He informed them of the possibility of a visit to Gorakhpur by Amit Shah in November.

“All district presidents should take feedback of government and run a campaign to increase the number of voters and also work on verification of booths. An awareness among people is also needed regarding the government’s welfare schemes,” Adityanath said.
He told party members that motorcycle rallies would be taken out on November 17 in all parliamentary areas, and that the CM, the deputy CM and the national president of the BJP were likely to participate in them.
The chief minister stayed at the Gorakhnath temple the whole day. He met with the urban development minister to discuss the condition of the city.
