PM Modi speaks about 'Noida jinx' at airport's inauguration

PM Narendra Modi spoke about "Noida jinx" at inauguration of Noida International Airport, saying, "Noida was abandoned to its fate because of blind superstition." The Noida jinx refers to the superstition, which started in 1988, that a sitting CM who visits Noida loses Assembly elections. In 2013, Akhilesh Yadav didn't attend the Asian Development Bank Summit due to the "jinx".
