PM Modi arrives in Indore
On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Indore to attend the Pravasi Bharatiya Diwas, a day dedicated to overseas Indians.
This is the 17th edition of the mega gathering of NRIs from various countries who have arrived in Madhya Pradesh’s economic city.
The Prime Minister was met at the Indore Airport by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, state Home Minister Narottam Mishra, and state BJP president V D Sharma.
Madhya Pradesh Governor Mangubhai C Patel and other Cabinet ministers were also present at the airport.
This event is significant because it provides a common platform for the overseas Indian community to engage with the Central Government and the native people of the land.
With the Assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh coming up at the end of the year, the ruling BJP will try to use this momentum to kick-start its campaign.
Prime Minister Modi will address the gathering and hold interactive meetings with NRIs during his day-long visit.
