In the 2017 meeting election, the social gathering received 77 seats, solely 15 wanting the bulk whereas BJP received 99, simply 9 greater than the bulk mark, that too due to Prime Minister Modi’s final second marketing campaign.Even within the 2019 common elections, the folks of Gujarat prolonged full assist to Prime Minister Modi’s re-election with the BJP registering victory on all seats. This was as a result of Gujarat loves Prime Minister Modi and respects him for what he’s doing for the nation.Therefore, for them, naming a stadium after the one that represents their ‘asmita’, is a matter of honour, and Prime Minister Modi is gracious sufficient to just accept that honour.All this hullaballoo across the renaming is the same old stuff of the left-liberal intelligentsia as a ritual at common time-interval.
