Earlier in the day, zeal and fervour gripped the streets of Ambaji in Gujarat when PM Narendra Modi held a roadshow. Thousands of people thronged the area as they raised slogans.

PM Modi’s convoy was welcomed with flower petals that were showered on his car.

While he was travelling to Gandhinagar from Ahmedabad earlier in the day, PM Narendra Modi’s convoy made way for an ambulance. The car trails stopped in alignment on one side of the road for an easy passage of the ambulance.
