The weeks following Delhi polls were supposed to be a lean season politically, with no Parliament session and no electoral battles looming. But not so for PM Narendra Modi who swung by three states on Monday – having breakfast in Madhya Pradesh, lunch in Bihar and dinner in Assam. The PM started his day inaugurating the Global Investor Summit in MP, where he pitched the state as an attractive investment destination, while asserting that the world was optimistic about India.
By afternoon he reached Bhagalpur, in what was seen as Modi’s first public address in the run-up to state elections later this year. He released 22,000 crore of PM-Kisan funds to 9.8 crore farmers across the country. He then hopped on to his aircraft and reached Guwahati on a two-day visit. In the evening, he witnessed the Jhumoir dance performance with nearly 9,000 dancers and drummers who played the traditional ‘Dhomsa’.
