Siliguri, April 12 (NationPress) A significant number of individuals assembled at the site of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's public address in Siliguri, West Bengal, on Sunday, eagerly anticipating a chance to see the Prime Minister.
Attendees showed their excitement and joy about meeting him, with chants of "Modi, Modi" and "BJP Zindabad" resonating through the crowd. Many waved the Tricolour, held BJP flags, and displayed portraits of PM Modi.
Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to deliver a vital address at a 'Vijay Sankalp Sabha' in Siliguri, playing a crucial role in the ongoing election campaign as the two-phase Assembly elections approach later this month.
This gathering is part of a broader outreach initiative by the BJP, which seeks to bolster its influence in the area.
An artist, who spent two years creating a replica of Shri Kedarnath Dham as a special gift for PM Modi during his visit to Bengal, expressed his eagerness to meet him.
He shared with IANS, "I have been working on this replica for the past two years, meticulously crafting it. I hoped to present it to PM Modi when he visited Bengal."
Another attendee remarked, "We are here to see him and have his darshan. It's wonderful that he is coming to speak to us today. We hope PM Modi will lead Bengal to prosperity."
A supporter donned a BJP cap and held the party flag, expressing, "We are thrilled to be here. We came to see Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and I hope to meet him personally."
The day prior, the Prime Minister had addressed three major campaign rallies across various districts of West Bengal. Following these events, he participated in an impressive roadshow at Bagdogra near Siliguri in the Darjeeling district on Saturday evening.
As the Prime Minister's convoy navigated through the streets, thousands of supporters lined the roads, enthusiastically chanting slogans like "Modi-Modi" and "Jai Shree Ram". The atmosphere was electric with excitement as crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of their leader.
Initially, PM Modi was seen seated next to the driver in the front of his vehicle, waving to the crowd. Later, he leaned out of the window, greeting supporters while displaying a replica of the BJP's election symbol, the lotus. His direct engagement with the crowd intensified their enthusiasm, leading to louder and more spirited chants.
