Prime Minister Narendra Modi sounded a poll bugle in Gujarat, holding a mega roadshow in the state on Friday. PM Modi flashed a victory sign as his cavalcade moved past the crowd that had gathered to greet him on the way in Ahmedabad. Hundreds of other people on the other side of the rope held national flags and cheered for PM Modi during the mega-roadshow. Among them was a young man who had painted himself in tri-colour.
Later, addressing a Maha-Panchayat Sammelan, Modi hailed the village panchayats in fighting the coronavirus pandemic. “Villages have been successful in checking the spread of Coronavirus. I congratulate the village heads for their efforts. I also congratulate the farmers of the country for ensuring that food supplies were not hit during the pandemic," the prime minister said The prime minister invoked Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel during his address. “Gujarat is the land of Bapu and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Bapu always talked about rural development, self-reliant villages. Today, as we are marking 'Amrit Mahotsav', we must fulfil Bapu's dream of Grameen Vikas,” he said.
