New Delhi, Nov 15 (NationPress) Defence Minister Rajnath Singh is set to embark on a two-day journey to his parliamentary constituency, Lucknow, starting Saturday.

Throughout this visit, he will engage in numerous public meetings, organizational interactions, and commemorative events.

As per Anand Dwivedi, President of Lucknow BJP Metropolitan, the Defence Minister's arrival at Lucknow Airport is scheduled for 11:40 a.m. He will then head straight to Sadar to participate in the 'Senior Worker Public Dialogue' at the Sanskrit Pathshala Auditorium.

Later in the day, at 4:00 p.m., he will address another session of the same dialogue at Rajkumar Children’s Academy in Rajajipuram.

Dwivedi noted that this visit is a part of the Minister’s ongoing connection with party members and local residents in his constituency.

Upon concluding his meetings in Rajajipuram, Rajnath Singh will visit the home of Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Seth on Vikramaditya Marg to express his condolences over the passing of Seth’s mother.

On the following day, the Defence Minister will take part in a notable cultural and historical event. At noon, he will honor Martyrdom Day for Uda Devi, a venerated Dalit freedom fighter, at Sector 19, Pasi Chauraha in Vrindavan Colony.

During this occasion, he will also unveil her statue, which represents a significant effort by the government to acknowledge the forgotten heroes of India's freedom struggle.

The Defence Minister's activities in Lucknow come shortly after a pivotal achievement in India’s defense manufacturing initiative.

On October 18, 2025, in a move that reinforces the vision of self-reliance in defense production, both Rajnath Singh and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath inaugurated the first batch of BrahMos missiles produced at the BrahMos Integration and Testing Facility Centre in Lucknow.

This advanced facility, part of the UP Defence Industrial Corridor, was virtually inaugurated by the Defence Minister on May 11, 2025, and astonishingly, the initial missiles were prepared for deployment within just five months.

During the inaugural event, Rajnath Singh remarked, "BrahMos is more than just a missile; it epitomizes our nation’s growing indigenous capabilities. The missile is equipped with a traditional warhead and an advanced guidance system, enabling it to strike long distances at supersonic speeds. The combination of speed, precision, and power positions BrahMos among the finest systems globally, making it the backbone of our Armed Forces."
