A student said there was considerable enthusiasm among young people who had gathered to welcome the Prime Minister. “There is immense enthusiasm. A large crowd has gathered here to see Narendra Modi. When we meet him, we would like to tell him that he has done a lot for us. The Prime Minister has closely focussed on our economic growth, travels to various places, meets people, and represents India, which is really great for us,” the student said.

Another student described PM Modi’s visit to Vadodara as a special occasion, saying it was a matter of good fortune for the city that the Prime Minister was visiting after a long gap. The student also expressed hope that he would interact directly with students and visit their college pavilion.

“First of all, it is our good fortune that he is coming to Baroda after such a long time. I would like him to interact with us once, visit our college pavilion, and also interact with our faculty… We hope he continues to speak to Gen Z, as he frequently interacts with the youth,” the student said.
