 "Modi visits Kolkata and is smitten by it")
After wooing women at Ficci Ladies Organisation Annual meet yesterday, Gujarat chief minister and BJP's probable PM candidate Narendra Modi visited Kolkata on Tuesday. And if his tweets are any indication he is in love with the city.
Modi who went to the famous Kali Temple at Dakshineshwar was spellbound by it. He tweeted that, "I apologise to Maa Kali to come here after a long time. I am blessed with Darshan of Maa Kaali."
Before addressing a gathering of Kolkata's who's who in the business circle, Modi went to the room where Swami Vivekananda used to meditate in Dakshinewar and the chief minister of Gujarat was so awestruck that he was not being able to express his feelings through words.
Modi tweeted, "On my request the organisers let me spend some time alone in the room where Swami Vivekananda meditated. The experience was beyond words!"
He has been trending on Twitter since the morning.
He further added in his tweet that he was glad to have the opportunity to arrive and experience the part of Ganga where Swami Vivekananda used to take bath and it gave him a inner joy. 2013 is alo the 150th birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, which gave more joy to Modi.
Meanwhile, it's intresting to note that Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee is in New Delhi to demand help from Centre on a day when Modi might steal the show on Banerjee's home turf.
