With eye on UP elections, Modi set to lay foundation stone of university named after Jat figure
New Delhi, Sep 13: With an eye on assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh in 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to lay the foundation stone of the Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh State University in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, on Tuesday.
The university is being set up in the memory and honour of Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh, a freedom fighter, educationist and social reformer. It will be constructed in an area spread over 92 acres in Lodha and Musepur Kareem Jarouli villages of Aligarh's Kol tehsil.
According to the Prime Minister's Office, Narendra Modi will address the gathering after the launch.
The university will provide affiliation to 395 colleges of the Aligarh division.
Politically, it is seen as an attempt by Modi to win over the Jat community by naming the university after Raja Mahendra Pratap Singh.
As per the reports, Jats are upset with the BJP over the farmers' issue and the BJP sees this development would pacify the aggrieved community to some extent.
