Apart from Narendra Modi, there are several connections between Gujarat and the Prime Minister’s constituency.
THOSE DRIVING from the Varanasi airport to the temple town have noticed that boards on construction sites of ongoing highways and bridges projects usually have a Gujarat address these days. Apart from Narendra Modi, there are several connections between Gujarat and the Prime Minister’s constituency. For instance, the architect of the recently inaugurated Kashi Vishwanath Corridor is Bimal Patel, the man behind the Sabarmati riverfront project. C R Patil, the MP from Navsari, Gujarat, is in-charge of the two model villages adopted by Modi in the constituency. Modi has also appointed Sunil Oza, the former MLA from Bhavnagar, Gujarat, to oversee the development projects for Varanasi. Patil and Oza in turn have called in many BJPsupporters from Gujarat to help out.
