PM Modi campaigns in Gujarat 

PM Modi on December 1 held a 50-Km roadshow spanning 16 assembly constituencies which will go to polls in the second phase on December 5. According to the BJP, it was the longest roadshow by a political leader in India. The 50-km roadshow started from the Naroda Gam and ended at Gandhinagar South constituency. There were several pauses along the route at memorials honouring notable figures, such as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Pandit Dindayal Upadhyay. PM Modi presented flower offerings at the monuments.

PM Modi covered 16 constituencies during his mega roadshow including Thakkarbapanagar, Bapunagar, Nikol, Amraiwadi, Maninagar, Danilimbda, Jamalpur Khadia, Elisbridge, Vejalpur, Ghatlodia, Naranpur and Sabarmati. During this, the locals showered flower petals on PM Modi. They also jammed every possible space—roads, balconies, rooftops of buildings—to get a sight of the Prime Minister. In the roadshow, special care was taken that no emergency services were hampered and the same was seen when an ambulance was given way during PM Modi's roadshow. 

Gujarat registered a voter turnout of over 60% in the first phase of the assembly elections on December 1, Thursday. The election for the remaining 93 seats will be held on December 5. The counting of votes will take place on December 8, the same day as Himachal Pradesh.
