PM Modi will perform a bhoomi pujan at Jewar Airport as the BJP prepares for the upcoming UP elections.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for the Noida International Airport (NIA) near Jewar, Gautam Buddha Nagar. The event will begin at 1 p.m., according to the Uttar Pradesh government.

Yamuna International Airport Private Limited (YIAPL), a 100 percent subsidiary of the project's Swiss concessionaire Zurich International Airport AG, is building the airport. The airport is being built under a public-private partnership approach in collaboration with the governments of Uttar Pradesh and India.

The airport is being promoted by the state of Uttar Pradesh as a logistics hub for North India. The administration claims that the Noida International Airport will be a game-changer for the state because of its size and capability.

It's one of the key pledges made by Yogi Adityanath's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is hoping to reclaim power in Uttar Pradesh in the upcoming assembly elections. It will be completed by 2024, according to the chief minister, which is before the next General Elections.

"We are going to lay the foundation stone for this project that will benefit entire UP, particularly Gautam Budh Nagar, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Hapur and other adjoining areas," he said on Tuesday. The chief minister is personally monitoring the arrangements for PM Modi's visit.

"Noida international airport will be completed as per the scheduled deadline of 2024 and create huge employment opportunities in the state, thereby changing the business dynamics of this region," he added.

The airport is spread out over more than 1300 hectares of land, with a capacity of 1.2 million passengers per year after the first phase is done.

Despite the fact that elections will be place in five states next year, Uttar Pradesh is seen as the most important for the BJP politically. The Election Commission is expected to release the poll timetable in January.

The Narendra Modi government's ministers visit the state on a regular basis, connecting with the people at foundation stone laying ceremonies and the inauguration of major projects.

PM Modi visited Sultanpur earlier this month to open the Purvanchal Expressway. For the ceremony, he went to Mahoba and Jhansi. In Lucknow, he also attended the DGPs' conference.

The election in-charge and election co-in-charge have already been appointed by the BJP. The tasks have been handed to Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Anurag Thakur, and four other members. Arjun Ram Meghwal, Shobha Karandlaje, Annapurna Devi, and party General Secretary Saroj Pandey have been named co-incharges, along with former Haryana minister Captain Abhimanyu and Rajya Sabha MP Vivek Thakur.

The opposition parties are challenging the BJP, particularly the Samajwadi Party (SP), which says that the Adityanath government is grabbing credit for projects implemented by previous governments.

Abhishek Mishra, a former minister in the previous SP government, claims that the BJP was aware that they would not be able to establish a government in the elections. He also stated that his party will establish the government with a majority of seats.

SP head Akhilesh Yadav has stated that his party will win 400 of the 403 seats in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly.

Mayawati's Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) officials assert that their voters are silent and that they would reveal their magic during voting.
