New Delhi [India]: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday met an “exceptional” man from his home state Gujarat’s Amreli.
Khimchand Chandrani had decided that he would cycle from his home town to the national capital if the BJP wins more than 300 seats in the Lok Sabha elections.
After the party’s thunderous victory on 303 seats, Chandrani kept his word and completed the 1,100 kilometre distance in 17 days.
Amreli district is around 100 kilometres away from Gujarat’s Rajkot.
Prime Minister tweeted about the meeting stating, “Met the exceptional Khimchandbhai from Amreli, Gujarat.
Chandrani had decided that if BJP wins 300+ seats, he would cycle from Amreli to Delhi. He kept his word and am told that his cycle journey has drawn several admirers. I was deeply impressed by his humility and passion.”
