Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi will address a rally in Meerut today.
Meanwhile, the security has been stepped up in view of the communal riots in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh last year.
A number of police personnel have been deployed. Besides bomb disposal squads, metal detectors have been set up to secure Modi's rally.
During a rally in Patna in October last year, a series of blasts took place in the city before the Gujarat Chief Minister began speaking. Six people were killed and more than 80 were injured in the blasts.
