New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a grand roadshow in Delhi on Monday. This came as the two-day BJP national executive meeting is being held at NDMC Convention Centre in the national capital on January 16-17. Bharatiya Janata Party is organising the roadshow on the first day of the national executive meeting in honour of PM Modi. Earlier, the roadshow was planned for Tuesday, the second day of the key meeting. But the party changed the schedule and the roadshow was held today.
Earlier on Sunday, the Congress took a swipe at the BJP over its scheduled roadshow in the national capital, saying that PM Modi, "rattled by the success of the Bharat Jodo Yatra", has got his party to organise a "joke of a roadshow".
Attacking the BJP, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said on Twitter, "An insecure Prime Minister rattled by the huge success of the Bharat Jodo Yatra has got the BJP to organise a joke of a road show passing through a short distance in the national capital tomorrow." "Such hollow, choreographed events will only keep his drum-beaters busy," he added.
About the planning for the show, it was reported that PM Modi's roadshow will cover around one-kilometre length up to the meeting point. Artists from different states will perform cultural performances during the roadshow. Party workers would stand along the roads to welcome PM Modi, news agency ANI reported citing sources. This is the first major meeting of the party after the landslide victory in Gujarat.
Earlier, Delhi Police issued a traffic advisory ahead of PM Modi's roadshow in the national capital. Delhi Police also issued an advisory regarding this. Delhi Traffic Police said that some roads will remain closed from 2.30 pm to 5.00 pm.
