- KARTIKEY DEV SINGH

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day visit to Gujarat opened with a burst of colours and sound on Monday evening as he swept through eastern Ahmedabad in a high-energy roadshow that set the tone for a rally in the city's Nikol area.

Touching down to a reception led by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and Union Minister & BJP State Chief CR Paatil, the Prime Minister moved to Naroda and mounted an open vehicle for a roughly two-kilometre procession from Haridarshan crossroads to the Khodaldham Ground, where thousands lined the route with flags, flowers, and phone torches.
