Prime Minister Narendra Modi kicks off two-day State visit to Gujarat in pre-poll outreach

With the Gujarat Assembly polls on his mind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday held roadshows in Surat and Bhavnagar, launched new projects and development works, and reiterated his government’s commitment to serving the people of the country. 

Slamming past governments for neglect and listing the works of his governments in Gujarat as well as at the national level since 2014, the Prime Minister in his addresses in Surat and Bhavnagar reminded the people of the State of the benefits of “double engine” governments. 

After arriving in ‘diamond city’ Surat on Thursday at noon, Mr. Modi led a 2.5 km long roadshow before addressing a huge gathering of people in the city, calling it a “mini India” since it attracts migrants from across the country.
