Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a rousing welcome as he held a mega roadshow in poll-bound Rajasthan on Wednesday.
PM Modi’s journey to Nathdwara was akin to a roadshow as thousands lined up on the roadsides, hours in advance, to greet him and showered him with flowers as his cavalcade passed them.
The prime minister will launch several developmental projects bolstering infrastructure and connectivity in the region, the PMO said, adding road and railway works will facilitate the movement of goods and services, boosting trade and commerce and improving the socioeconomic conditions of the people in the region.
