Narendra Modi: Power is my government's first priority

Maharashtra CM Chavan skipped the event as he feared BJP supporters will jeer him the way they did at Solapur last time.

Chavan was booed at a public meeting in Solapaur a few days back where Prime Minister Narendra Modi had arrived to inaugurate a power transmission line.

Even Haryana Chief Minister B S Hooda had to face a hostile crowd when Modi was in Haryana to lay the foundation stone for a project. 

Hooda was booed by the crowd who had ears only for their Prime Minister. While Hooda spoke from the dais at a stone- laying ceremony of a highway project at Kaithal on Tuesday, the crowd chanted Modi's name and jeered the Chief Minister.  

To avoid a repeat of similar embarrassment, Chavan decided to  boycott the event all together.

The Prime Minister was accompanied by Governor K Sankaranarayanan and Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Piyush Goyal.
