Throughout the history of our democracy, we have witnessed numerous elections, but the recent roadshow held in Puri set a new benchmark. This record-breaking event featured none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi. A large number of people gathered early in the morning, standing in long queues to catch a glimpse of PM Modi, showcasing his immense popularity compared to other leaders.
The enthusiasm among the local residents during PM Modi’s roadshow in Puri was palpable. Even in the extreme heat, the crowd remained undeterred, eager to see and bless the Prime Minister. Hours after the event, PM Modi expressed his gratitude to the holy city of Puri. He praised the city’s divinity and culture, stating that the blessings he received inspire him to work harder for the people.

PM Modi took to his official social media account to share some pictures from the roadshow. On X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “Thank you, Puri. I bow with gratitude towards this revered place associated with divinity and culture. This morning’s road show was fantastic. The heat did not stop the crowd from coming and blessing us. Each of these blessings is cherished and inspires us to work harder for the people.” He also urged people to vote despite the scorching heat, highlighting a wheelchair-bound youth at the rally whose presence deeply moved him.
The enthusiasm for PM Modi wasn’t limited to Puri. In Dhenkanal, a massive crowd also gathered for another roadshow. Among the attendees was young Anshuman Mahapatra from Angul, who, despite his health issues and the intense heat, made it to the rally. PM Modi remarked, “This affection is humbling and inspires me to work even harder to fulfill the dreams of the people.”
Following the roadshow, PM Modi addressed a public meeting in Dhenkanal, Odisha. He is on a one-day tour of Odisha and West Bengal, with scheduled public meetings later in Tamluk and Jhargram, West Bengal.
