PM Modi To Go On A Two-Day Visit To Gujarat From April 19

PM Narendra Modi -- who served as the Gujarat Chief Minister -- had visited the state on March 11, a day after the results of assembly elections in five states were declared.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be on a two-day visit to Gujarat starting April 19. This will be his second visit to Gujarat in the last two months. Elections are due in the state in December and the BJP is getting ready to seek another term in the state they have been ruling since 1995.

While there are no details about his programme yet, the state BJP earlier said the Prime Minister will visit the tribal-dominated Dahod area and was likely to speak at a rally.

PM Modi -- who served as the Chief Minister of the state before becoming the Prime Minister in 2014 -- had gone to Gujarat last on March 11, a day after the results of assembly elections in five states were declared. During his two-day visit, he held three roadshows -- a move seen as the unofficial beginning of the BJP's election campaign in the state.

In the last round of elections, the BJP retained all four states they ruled -- Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Uttarakhand and Goa.
