PM leads packed roadshow in Vapi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday conducted roadshows in Vapi city in the Valsad district as the BJP ramps up its election campaign.

He received a warm welcome from the local people of Vapi. Scores of people gathered to welcome and cheer for the Prime Minister.

PM Modi waved at the excited gathering during the roadshow.


Meanwhile, ahead of the Assembly elections, the Prime Minister is expected to participate in at least eight programmes crisscrossing the state from Saurashtra to Surat. The Prime Minister is scheduled to hold rallies in Gujarat's Saurashtra for three consecutive days from November 20 to November 22. More than 1.5 lakh people will participate in these rallies, said the source.

The Prime Minister will conduct three rallies in Saurashtra on November 20, two in South Gujarat and Saurashtra on November 21 and two in Saurashtra on November 22.

On November 20, after visiting the Somnath Temple, he is scheduled to address four rallies in the Saurashtra region. Venues have been finalised at Veraval, Dhorarji, Amreli and Botad.

Incidentally, in the last assembly elections, the BJP was not able to win a single seat in these assembly constituencies in Saurashtra. The BJP won the state polls but wasn't able to breach this bastion that has traditionally voted for Congress.
