NEW DELHI: Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on Tuesday met and congratulated a resident of Gujarat's Amreli who kept his promise of cycling from his hometown to Delhi to celebrate the BJP's massive victory in Lok Sabha elections.
Khimchandbhai had decided that he would undertake the over 1000-km cycle journey if the BJP wins over 300 seats in the elections. The party won 303.
"Met the exceptional Khimchandbhai from Amreli, Gujarat.
Khimchandbhai 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," the Prime Minister tweeted.
In May this year, the BJP scored a decisive victory in the Lok Sabha polls by winning 303 seats. In Gujarat, the saffron party won all the 26 Lok Sabha seats.
