Defence Minister and BJP leader Rajnath Singh cast his vote at a polling booth in Lucknow.
Yesterday, Rajnath Singh while addressing the Gorakhpur rally said, "Goddess Laxmi doesn't visit one's house on 'Cycle', or 'Elephant'. Nor does she show up waving her 'Hand'. She only comes on 'Lotus'. Isn't that true?... Yearly Rs 6000 for the poor, free ration, pucca houses to several people have been given."
