03:10Electric locomotive manufactured at the plant there.
03:13In many ways, remember, to make Gujarat a manufacturing hub.
03:17That's been a focus for Prime Minister Modi to invite world-level investments.
03:22Piyush Mishra is on the ground.
03:24Full-on folk dances, songs and cheers.
03:27Piyush, in case you can hear me, as Prime Minister Modi's cavalcade passes you by,
03:32tell me more about the mood and the kind of celebrations on the ground.
03:36Well, around me you will see the visuals.
03:43Pujha here, the women of Vadodara are seen performing Garba as, you know,
03:49Gaphi Marendra Modi has landed here and he has just conducted a road show.
03:53And you can see the 60-degree view around me where the women are holding, you know,
03:59caps on their forehead of Operation Sindhur are performing Garba here.
04:05And the message is clear of Operation Sindhur.
04:09And they are here to thank Piyush Marendra Modi and congratulate him for the success of Operation Sindhur.
04:16You can see as to how the happy faces, the excited faces are here of the women who are now dancing on the patriotic songs.
04:23So these are the visuals which tell you the story of the love which Piyush Marendra Modi enjoys.
04:28And that's the stage of Vadodara, which has now been set up right in front of the airport here in Vadodara.
04:38Here the female workers of BJP and the people of Vadodara have come here and they are now sending a message to the entire world.
04:48Listen, listen, listen, listen, put it in the world, put it in the world, put it in the world, put it in the world, put it in the world.
04:52So that's the message which the women of Vadodara are also sending and they are very happy.
04:58That champion Narendra Modi is here and you can see a cap which this lady is now putting on her head which sends us the message of Operation Sindhur.
05:09And they all are seen holding a tracker in their hand.
05:12Let me try to get enough word from them and understand the sentiments which are there in the people of Vadodara.
05:18I am Pradhan Mantri, I am seeing the situation, you have seen the message of Operation Sindhur, what message do you have to tell us?
05:25When I am out of that, with the ladies I say to my方, we are theглиors of the lady's.
05:30We have given what we call our lads.
05:34And we have got the support of Modhi ji.
05:37We have got the support for ladies to come.
05:39Now, before we did not have the support, we have got the support of the ladies.
05:41Now, only one and one and two.
05:44So you can see that?
06:46I find it interesting, of course, there's the infrastructure, Vikas push for Prime Minister Modi,
06:59a locomotive manufacturing plant is being inaugurated.
07:03There will be other events as well.
07:04The Gujarat urban growth story is going to be the focus.
07:08But what I see the sentiment on the ground is more about Operation Sindhoor.
07:23Piyush, if you can hear me, can we say that clearly at this juncture, this has a lot to
07:28do with Operation Sindhoor as much as, of course, the Vikas push.
07:38Right, Modi, Modi, cheers.
07:40Look at that.
07:41The number of people.
07:43And remember, in Gujarat, it's not, of course, in many ways all organized or collected.
07:49Look at that.
07:49It's, after all, his home state.
07:51He's led the state at least thrice and then has been a Prime Minister now again in the
07:56third tenure.
07:56From, for kilometers now, I can see there's been a flower petal shower for Prime Minister
08:03Modi.
08:05Women, clearly, at the forefront.
08:08So these are songs.
08:09And he's ensuring that he's not just simply sitting in the car.
08:13He's waving to the people, to the supporters who must have been there since early this morning.
08:19And this urban growth is, of course, very important for Prime Minister Modi, not just because
08:24of the home state, but because it's a border state.
