Ahmedabad, Nov 13 Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at Gujarat’s Ahmedabad airport late Friday evening and proceeded to Lok Bhavan in Gandhinagar, where Governor Acharya Devvrat welcomed him, officials said.
PM Modi’s hard work, visionary leadership, and dedication serve as a source of inspiration for every citizen, a Lok Bhavan release quoted Devvrat as saying.
Under the Prime Minister’s leadership, India’s prestige has reached new heights across the globe, he said.
“Under the Prime Minister’s guidance, Gujarat has emerged as the nation’s growth engine, setting new benchmarks in the fields of natural farming, industrial progress, and public welfare,” the Governor added.
Modi is scheduled to leave for Delhi on Saturday, officials said.
The Prime Minister was earlier scheduled to visit the famous Ambaji temple in Banaskantha district on November 14 on the auspicious occasion of Labh Pancham to offer prayers and perform rituals.
However, the state government announced on Thursday night that the PM’s Ambaji visit had been cancelled.
Gujarat Assembly Speaker Shankar Chaudhary, who hails from Banaskantha district, said the PM cancelled his temple visit as lakhs of devotees visit every day during the festive season, and he did not want to cause any inconvenience to them.
