Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be visiting Amethi, the home turf of Congress president Rahul Gandhi, on February 27, a BJP leader said on Tuesday.

The Prime Minister is likely to visit the ordnance factory in Munshiganj in Amethi and later address a public meeting, BJP's convenor of the Amethi Lok Sabha constituency Rajesh Agrahari said.

Modi may also inaugurate and lay foundation stones for various projects, Agrahari said.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi had defeated BJP's Smriti Irani by a margin of over 1.07 lakh votes, retaining the Amethi seat.
