PM Modi’s Grand Roadshows in Gujarat on May 26-27

Ahmedabad/Vadodara, Gujarat  — In his first visit to Gujarat after the highly impactful Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on a whirlwind two-day tour of his home state on May 26 and 27. The visit is being seen as a massive show of strength and solidarity, with elaborate preparations underway across multiple cities to welcome PM Modi with grandeur and patriotic fervor.

The Prime Minister will attend a program organized in three districts of Gandhinagar, Kutch and Dahod on May 26 and 27. After a public meeting on Mirjapar Road in Bhuj, Kutch, he will visit the Ashapura temple of Mata Madh. It is worth mentioning that a railway production unit has been built at a cost of Rs 20,000 crores at Dahod, in which the first locomotive engine of 9000 HP built will be inaugurated by the Prime Minister.

The rail factory built on the PPP model at Dahod will produce 1200 engines in 10 years and in the future they will be exported to the country and abroad. The locomotive engine made in Dahod will be manufactured on the lines of 100% Make in India in the near future. The specialty of this locomotive engine is that it has the capacity to carry 4600 tons of cargo. For the first time, AC and toilet have been installed in the engine for the driver. Along with this, a cover system has already been installed to avoid accidents. In the rail factory built at a cost of 20 thousand crores in Dahod, about 1200 locomotive engines are going to be manufactured in the next 10 years. Currently, 4 engines are being prepared in Dahod. Manufacturing by Dahod will be written on all these engines.

This project will directly and indirectly provide employment to 10,000 people in areas including Dahod and the local economy will also get a boost. In addition, the multinational company that emerged as the lowest bidder will have the opportunity to provide goods to small and large companies in the power sector and engineering sector for the needs of various items for the production of the Revay engine. It is worth mentioning that the average speed of the 9000 HP 6-axle electric engine will be 75 km. per hour. The engine will be maintained at Kharagpur in West Bengal, Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, Raipur in Chhattisgarh and Pune depot in Maharashtra.

According to top officials, PM Modi will hold major roadshows in Ahmedabad and Vadodara, with massive crowds expected to turn out in support. The visit has been finalized during a high-level cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel in Gandhinagar on Wednesday.

As per the schedule, the Prime Minister will begin his visit on May 26 with a grand roadshow in Vadodara, followed by a public event in tribal-dominated Dahod. From there, he will proceed to Kutch for another key program before reaching Ahmedabad for his second roadshow. On May 27, he will address a significant gathering at Mahatma Mandir in Gandhinagar and stay overnight at Raj Bhavan.

“Preparations are in full swing. Every stretch of the roadshow route is being decorated with thematic tambos and stages. The atmosphere is electric,” said an official from the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation.

Sources say the visit holds symbolic significance, especially after Operation Sindoor, which has bolstered India’s security stance. “This isn’t just a welcome—it’s a celebration of leadership that reflects national pride,” said Kaushik Patel, a BJP worker from Vadodara.

District administrations in Kutch, Dahod, and Gandhinagar have ramped up security and infrastructure readiness. The local police, along with SPG and state officials, are conducting multiple recce missions.

Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel held a high-level meeting late Tuesday evening to ensure seamless coordination. “This is a proud moment for Gujarat. We are leaving no stone unturned,” said a senior cabinet member.
