Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Mandi in Himachal Pradesh in his first address in the state after becoming the Prime Minister.
Modi reached the state on Tuesday morning and inaugurated three major power projects and then proceeded to address the rally.
Himachal Pradesh will hold Assembly elections in late 2017 and Modi’s visit could have been to garner some support prior to the elections.
Modi apologised to the public for his delayed visit and said ”Aaj chotti Kaashi mei sar jhukaane ka avsar mila hai. Main soch raha thaa aap logh naraaz honge ki maine yaha aane me itna samay liya.” (Today, I got the chance to bow my head down to chhotti Kaashi. I was thinking all of you must be upset that I took so long to come here.)
