“You are going to have elections soon. I hope you would actively participate and show that you are a political force to reckon with,” Modi said, while speaking to his supporters in New Jersey via video conferencing from Gandhinagar, early Saturday morning.
In his hour-and-a-half long speech to over a thousand people, comprising Gujaratis living in the US, Modi communicated his government’s priorities. The event was organised by the Overseas Friends of the BJP (OFBJP).
Having been denied a visa by Washington, Modi has been speaking to his supporters in the US through video conferencing for the last couple of years.
