Lok Sabha polls: It's actor vs actress in Yogi bastion of Gorakhpur

New Indian Express  

GORAKHPUR: One of the most high-profile seats, Gorakhpur, which will vote in the seventh and final phase of the Lok Sabha polls on June 1, is considered to be the nerve centre of eastern UP politics owing to the aura of the revered Gorakshnath Peeth, influencing the outcome of over half a dozen seats of the division. Be it a Lok Sabha or state assembly election, Gorakhpur’s political fervour is infectious drawing widespread attention. The bastion of UP CM Yogi Adityanath, who was elected to the Lok Sabha five times from here, it is also the home of the renowned Gita Press and terracotta sculptures, besides being witness to the literary prowess of Munshi Premchand and Firaq Gorakhpuri as well as the revolutionary poetry of Ram Prasad Bismil. A BJP stronghold, the Gorakhpur Lok Sabha seat was represented by Mahants of the Gorakshnath Peeth from 1989 till 2014-17.
