लाल बहादुर शास्त्री यद्द्पि हमारे दूसरे प्रधानमंत्री की जन्म स्थली प0दीनदयाल उपाध्याय नगर (पहले मुगलसराय ) है लेकिन कर्म स्थली प्रयागराज ही रहा ।प्रयागराज के बालुवा घाट में गौतम सिनेमा हाल के पास ही किराए पर रहते थे ।1952 में पहली बार निर्वाचित सांसद थे और 1965 मे करछाना विधान सभा के उरुवा बाजार के जनसभा में इन्होने ‘जय जवान ,जय किसान ‘ का नारा अमेरिका की पाकिस्तान के समर्थन में गेहूं देना बंद करने के जबाब में इन्होने दिया – जिसका पूरे देश ने हाथों हाथ लिया और भारत तभी से अन्न के खेत और युद्ध के मैदान मे विजयी होने लगा ।
