Rows of Empty Chairs at Hema Malini & Yogi Adityanath’s Mathura Rally
Earlier, Amit Shah’s Agra rally also saw low attendance.
Actor and BJP MP Hema Malini kicked off her campaign for the 2019 Lok Sabha election campaign from her constituency in Mathura on Monday, March 25.
However, despite the rally being attended by the ‘Dreamgirl’ as well as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, an exceptionally small number of people turned up, as visible by the rows of empty chairs.
Journalist Sreenivasan Jain on Twitter shared pictures of the rally.

Malini, the incumbent MP from Mathura, filed her nomination papers following the event on Monday
