Gujarat Election: Prime Minister Narendra Modi To Fly On Seaplane, Offer Prayers At Ambaji Temple
Seaplane being readied for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s flight.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will tomorrow travel in a sea-plane from Sabarmati river in the city to Dharoi dam in Mehsana district, the first-ever flight by such a craft in the country. He will head to Ambaji temple in Ambaji town by road to offer prayers.
"Tomorrow for the first time in the history of the country a sea-plane will land on the Sabarmati river. I will go to Ambaji in the sea-plane after landing in Dharoi dam and come back," Modi announced at a poll rally. "Our party had planned my road show tomorrow. However, the administration has not given permission and I had time so I decided to go to Ambaji in the sea-plane," Modi said.
"We cannot have airports everywhere, so our government has planned to have these sea-planes," the Prime Minister added.
Chief Minister Vijay Rupani said this is for the first time in the history of the country that a sea-plane will land on a water body and that will be the Sabarmati river. "Prime Minister Modi will travel in the plane from here to Dharoi. He will visit Ambaji temple and come back from Dharoi to Sabarmati in the same plane," Rupani said.
Modi will fly back to Ahmedabad in the same plane. (PTI)
