PM Modi in Rajasthan's Tonk: Our fight is for Kashmir, not against Kashmiris

With 2019 Lok Sabha Elections just a few months away, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has intensified its poll campaigns across India. To kick-start the party's poll campaign in Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday reached the Tonk city, where he addressed the 'Vijay Sankalp rally'. Security has been stepped up at Tonk and at Jaipur airport following certain input from the central agencies. This is Modi's first visit to the state after  BJP's defeat in the recently concluded Assembly Elections 2018. On December 11, the Congress thrashed  the Vasundha Raje-led BJP government with wins in 100 seats out of the total 200 Assembly constituencies in Rajasthan.

During his visit to Rajasthan, the prime minister has laid the foundation stone of the country's longest LPG pipeline that will cater to growing demand for cooking gas to a large chunk of the population. State-run Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is laying 1,987-kilometre LPG pipeline from Gujarat coast to Gorakhpur in eastern Uttar Pradesh via Ahmedabad (in Gujarat), Ujjain, Bhopal (in Madhya Pradesh), Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi and Lucknow (in Uttar Pradesh).

Tonk-Sawai Madhopur is one of the 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in Rajasthan, which was created in 2008 as a part of the implementation of delimitation of parliamentary constituencies.
