The rally assumes significance as during his last rally, in Agra, the BJP had felicitated MLAs Suresh Rana and Sangeet Som, who are both accused in the Muzaffarnagar riots case.
Security at the venue has also been beefed-up keeping in mind the location's proximity to the riot-hit district.
The BJP is looking to win big in Uttar Pradesh, the state that sends the most number of members - 80 - to Lok Sabha.
Also expected at the rally is former Mumbai Commissioner Satyapal Singh who is likely to join the BJP, after he quit his post last week to work for 'the greater interest of the nation'.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Congress President Sonia Gandhi took a dig at Modi and the BJP by accusing them of cultivating 'fields of poison'.
Sonia Gandhi had said that the BJP is indulging in 'zeher ki kheti' by spreading communalism in the country. The remarks came during the inauguration of a hospital in Gulbarga, Karnataka.
