For the third consecutive year, Modi is all set to interact with Non-Resident Gujaratis (NRGs) settled in America through a video conference from his Gandhinagar residence at 6:00 am on Saturday.

A function for this will be organised by the Overseas Friends of BJP at the Royal Alberts Palace Hall in New Jersey, where the NRGs will gather to see and hear the CM.

A senior official in the CMO said on Thursday that the video conference function to felicitate Modi on the BJP’s thumping win in the recently-concluded Assembly elections in Gujarat would be telecast live on the private satellite TV-9 channel from 6 am to 9 am on Saturday not only in America, but also in Canada.

The official said the CM would have one-hour interaction with NRGs, during which he would brief them about the progress and development Gujarat has witnessed in the last five years under the BJP rule in the State. He would also talk to them about how the BJP swept the 2007 Assembly polls on the plank of “development and good governance” with a catchy Slogan “Jeetega Gujarat”.

Before Modi addresses the NRGs in America through the video conference, the office-bearers of the Overseas Friends of BJP will welcome and congratulate him on the party’s resounding poll victory.
