As Modi reached Bhopal to address ‘Karyakarta Mahakumbh’ on Sept 25, lakhs of BJP workers reached from across the Madhya Pradesh to attend the event at capital’s Jamboree Ground.

Zooming the details: As the BJP govt is paying special focus to garner tribal support in MP, tribal artists were invited to welcome PM Modi.

Modi’s back-to-back visits signal BJP’s strong and desperate will to retain power in one of the biggest Hindi-belt states Madhya Pradesh. Politically, the saffron party cannot afford to lose the heart of India, especially after defeat in Karnataka & Himachal Pradesh.

In fact, on most of the 7 visits, PM Modi either inaugurated development projects or flagged off super-fast Vande Bharat trains, as gift to Madhya Pradesh. During his last visit, Modi laid foundation stone of Rs 49k crore Bina Refinery Petrochemical Complex.
