PM Narendra Modi holds roadshow in Surat during his two-day visit to Gujarat, waves to people gathered to greet him

He will inaugurate and lay foundation stones for various projects worth Rs 29,000 crore during his two-day visit to Gujarat. The Assembly elections in Gujarat are due in December this year.

After landing at the Surat airport in the morning, Modi led a 2.5 kilometre roadshow from Ghodadara to Limbayat area of the city.

The prime minister, while sitting inside his car, waved to people who were standing on both sides of the road since early morning to greet him.

Gujarat is slated for the Assembly elections later this year and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is making all out efforts to retain power in the state.

From Surat, PM Modi will go to Bhavnagar to launch various projects, including the stone laying of the world’s first CNG terminal and a brownfield port in Bhavnagar, reported PTI citing a state government release.

Before addressing a gathering in the Jawahar Chowk area of Bhavnagar city, the PM is also scheduled to lead a two-kilometre-long road show in the city, the release said.
