After Haridwar Immersion, Lucknow Cavalcade Planned For Vajpayee's Ashes

The ashes of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee were immersed in the river Ganga in Haridwar today in a power packed ceremony, attended by Chief Ministers of two states - Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand - home minister Rajnath Singh and BJP chief Amit Shah. The party, which was in the middle of prepping for next year's elections, plans to hold a huge ceremony, complete with a cavalcade, when the former Prime Minister's ashes arrive in Lucknow and are immersed in river Gomti on Tuesday.
