Indore, Madhya Pradesh’s most populated city and cleanest township of India, yet again set an example for the rest of the country. Living up to its reputation, the city roads turned spick and span within hours of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s massive roadshow.

PM Modi had asked the BJP karyakartas to ensure the entire stretch is cleaned. Following his direction, the party workers engaged in tidying up the lane and surrounding area, and within a matter of hours they managed to clean the entire area.

PM Modi, who arrived in Indore on Tuesday evening after addressing election meetings at different places in the state, boarded an open ‘chariot’ built on a small four-wheeler from the city’s Bada Ganpati square.

A “saffron corridor” was created for the prime minister’s roadshow by covering the barricades on both sides of the road with saffron cloth, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said.

As he walked through the corridor, Modi waved at the people who thronged on sides of the road. BJP workers standing along the route were seen holding party flags.

People welcomed the prime minister by showering flowers on him at various points on the route. They also waved pictures of the Ram temple being built in Ayodhya along with Modi’s photos, and also shouted the “Modi, Modi” slogan.

The prime minister’s chariot passed through Indore-1, Indore-4 and Indore-3 assembly constituencies, covering a distance of about 1.5 km and reached Rajbada intersection in the heart of the city an hour later.

At this place, Modi garlanded the statue of Ahilyabai Holkar, the ruler of the erstwhile Holkar dynasty of Indore, and paid homage to her.
