LUCKNOW: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is all set to address a mega rally in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya on Wednesday, May 1. This will be his first visit to Ayodhya after the 2014 election. 

PM Modi will address a joint election rally for Ayodhya and Ambedkar Nagar Lok Sabha seats, said the party.

The rally will be held in Maya Bazaar which falls under Goshainganj Assembly constituency in Ayodhya district, nearly 25 kilometres away from Ram Janmabhoomi.
