New Delhi, 7 September 2013

The stage built for Narendra Modi’s Ambikapur rally looks like a replica of Delhi’s red fort.

Shri Narendra Modi is going to address a rally at Ambikapur in Chhattisgarh state today.

The stage of this rally has been built in a shape of Delhi’s red fort. According to a report in local newspaper, the stage has been built at a cost of Rs. 2 crore.

The design of the stage is significant because in larger section across the country, Shri Narendra Modi is today described as India’s next prime minister. There’s a tradition of Indian Prime Minister’s address to the nation from Delhi’s red fort every year on Independence day(15 August).

Reacting to red fort like stage for Modi’s rally, senior Congress minister Kamal Nath today said, “after making a replica of red fort, Shri Modi will now build 7 Racecourse(Indian Prime Minister’s official residence) also to fulfill his dream.”
