Prime Minister Narendra Modi was welcomed with loud chants and cheering as he began his roadshow here on Sunday, ahead of elections in the state.
An elated Prime Minister, who was in his convoy, was seen waving to the crowd as they chanted 'Modi Modi' in large numbers, following which he emplaned for New Delhi.
This is Prime Minister Modi's third trip to poll-bound Gujarat in this month. During his visit, he touched upon various subjects in his addresses to the gatherings at Dahej, Bhavnagar and now Vadodara.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the first phase of the Dahej-Ghogha Roll-on Roll-off ferry service here. With the opening of this Rs. 615-crore ferry service, the distance between Saurastra and South Gujarat regions will be less than an hour via-sea route.
The 14th legislative assembly election in Gujarat is to be held by the end of 2017 as the term of 13th assembly ends on January 22, 2018.
