Rohini's Japanese park was chock-a-block, with people trooping in from 8 AM, most of them ferried from various areas by hundreds of buses.
While it rained in central and other parts of the area, it was pleasant weather in Rohini except for slight drizzle and Modi made it a point to thank the Rain God at the start of his address.
A 100 feet-long poster of Modi put up at the venue to greet the people was, however, torn up due to strong wind even before Modi reached the venue.
The boisterous crowd chanted "Modi" which even forced the BJP strongman to pause twice during his address. "The media has taken note of your enthusiasm. Now you should let me air your views," he told the audience which roared whenever he hurled a barb at Congress.
The Delhi BJP left no stone unturned to make Modi's rally a success especially as polls are due in November. Most of the people who came to attend the rally had travelled to the venue in buses.
A large number of LCD screens and "line array" sound systems were put up at the venue to ensure that crowd does not miss out on any word from Modi.
To make the stage lively, there was a backdrop with moving visuals that carried BJP's poll slogan "Badlenge Delhi, Badlenge Bharat."
The video streaming was done through state of the art technology that provides high definition picture from different angles. However, it did not stop many people from climbing poles to get a glimpse of Modi.
Traffic snarls were reported from various parts of Rohini with large number of buses and cars converging at Japanese Park during morning hours. Battery-operated rickshaws and cycle rickshaws were in place to ferry passengers from Metro stations.
