With more than 25 lakh people expected to attend the rally, two special trains have been allotted to meet the added influx of passengers to Lucknow.
According to the reports from the Opposition, the rally is expected to cost Uttar Pradesh Government a whopping Rs 200 crore. About ten thousand police personnel have been deployed and 14 CCTVs have been installed at the rally ground.
