Guwahati: Prime Minister Narendra Modi was accorded a warm welcome upon his arrival in Guwahati this evening, marking his inaugural visit to address an election rally in Assam ahead of the Lok Sabha election 2024. Arriving at 7 PM from his previous rally in Raiganj, West Bengal, PM Modi embarked on a spirited road show through the capital city, drawing throngs of enthusiastic supporters lining the Guwahati-Shillong road.
Thousands of residents poured onto the streets, brandishing placards proclaiming ‘once again Modi government’ alongside the national flag, in a vibrant display of support for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Resounding chants of “Hum Bhi Modi Ka Pariwar” (We are also Modi’s Family) echoed throughout the roadshow, underscoring the strong sense of solidarity among his thousands of supporters in the eastern part of the country.
The monumental roadshow culminated at Dispur Assembly points, marking the conclusion of a triumphant display of political fervour.
