Gujarat elections 2022: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that the state has blessed him over the past two decades and has voted for him irrespective of his caste. The comments come from PM Modi ahead of the Assembly elections in the state soon.
The prime minister arrived in Gujarat on a three-day visit, where he declared Modhera in Mehsana district as the country's first 24x7 solar-powered village.
Addressing a rally here, Modi said, "People of Gujarat have blessed me for the last two decades without looking at my caste, without looking at my political background."
Before becoming the prime minister, Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat between 2001 and 2014.
Assembly elections in Gujarat are slated to be held soon. The elections are crucial for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which aims to retain power in PM Modi's home state, while the Congress hopes for a win after remaining out of power for 27 years in the state.
During his visit, Modi will launch various projects worth more than Rs 14,600 crore.
