Jhansi (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 19 (ANI): Ahead of Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls next year, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday slammed the Opposition and said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) does not do politics by lying to the people.

But, we have fulfilled all our promises especially the abrogation of Article 370."Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is set to take out 'Jan Vishwas Yatra' from six places in the state from Sunday.
The Yatras was inaugurated by the party's top leaders including Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and other union ministers. Yatras were taken out from Bijnor, Mathura, Jhansi, Ghazipur, Ambedkar Nagar, and Ballia.
Uttar Pradesh is slated to go to Assembly polls early next year.
