BJP president Amit Shah will attend the Kumbh in Prayagraj on Wednesday, during which he will take a dip in the holy Sangam and meet various congregations of saints. 

He will be joined by UP CM Yogi Adityanath.

First, Shah will go to the Sangam, which is the holy confluence of rivers Ganga and Yamuna, and offer his prayers, the statement issued on Tuesday said.

He will be visiting various holy places and meet saints during his one-day visit, it added.

Shah's visit assumes significance amid demands by for the government to bring in a law for the early construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya by several groups including the VHP.

The BJP chief has reiterated on multiple occasions his party's commitment to the cause of temple construction.

The Ram temple title case is presently being heard in the Supreme Court.

Amit Shah's visit to Prayagraj is BJP's intensified poll strategy to counter opposition's campaign in UP with a series of programmes involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP chief.
