'Modi-Modi' Chants, Prayers at Somnath Temple, 3 More Rallies Later: How PM Modi's Grand Gujarat Campaign is Looking Like on Day-2

With high-spirits, and back-to-back rallies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s second-day of his grand Gujarat campaign for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) kicked off on Sunday.

The prime minister commenced his day by visiting the iconic Somnath Temple. Modi offered prayers with priests at the temple.

The crowd’s merriment was visible as Modi addressed a mega rally in Veeraval, hailed as the hub of fishing industries. Chants of “Modi-Modi” greeted the prime minister as he stepped to speak on the stage.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday appealed to the people of Gir Somnath district in election-bound Gujarat to make the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) victorious in all the polling booths.

The prime minister urged the people to turn up in large numbers on polling day and break all the previous records of voter turnout. “In this election, I want people to turn up in large numbers at their respective polling booths on the voting day and break all the previous records of voter turnout,” Modi said.

“Another thing I want from you is to make sure the BJP wins each and every booth here. Will you do it for me?” he added.

Modi is scheduled to address three more election rallies in Dhoraji, Amreli and Botad later in the day.

This comes a day after he held a gathering in Valsad on Saturday evening and took part in a roadshow, on his first day of campaigning in the state.

Eight rallies – over a span of three days – have been scheduled as the BJP prepares for a return in the state where it has been ruling for more than two decades.

Elections for the 182-member Gujarat Assembly will be held in two phases on December 1 and 5 and the counting of votes will be taken up on December 8.
