Gandhinagar:
A day after a spectacular victory in Uttar Pradesh assembly elections and retaining power in three other states, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today reached the next poll-bound state – Gujarat – to a grand welcome. The PM is in his home state on a two-day visit to participate in several official events. He will address the Gujarat Panchayat Mahasammelan this evening, which over one lakh representatives from the three tiers of the Panchayati Raj institutions in the state will attend.
Riding in an open jeep decorated with floral garlands, PM Modi waved to the hundreds of supporters and admirers who gathered by the roadside as his roadshow began from the airport to Kamalam, BJP’s state headquarters in Gandhinagar. Kamalam is around 10 km from the airport.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and state BJP president CR Patil were seen flanking PM Modi in the vehicle.
Assembly elections in Gujarat will be held at the end of this year, though the dates haven’t been announced yet.
“Leaving for Gujarat, where I will be attending various programmes today and tomorrow. At 4 PM today, will address a Panchayat Mahasammelan, where several representatives from Panchayati Raj institutions will attend,” he tweeted yesterday.
