People standing on both sides of the route took selfies and threw flower petals at the cavalcade as the prime minister's vehicle passed them on the road.

The prime minister was accompanied by Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and BJP candidate from Bareilly Chhatrapal Gangwar.

The roadshow started from the Rajendra Nagar area and ended at the cross-section in DD Puram area, covering a distance of around 1.2 kilometers in around 40 minutes, local party officials said.
