Gandhinagar, May 28
Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah will begin his two-day visit to Gujarat on Thursday, during which he is scheduled to inaugurate and lay foundation stones for multiple development projects across the Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency and Ahmedabad, and to hold organisational and review meetings.
Shah, who is also the Member of Parliament from the constituency, will begin his programmes on Thursday with a series of development-related events across different locations.
In Vadsar, he will inaugurate the newly constructed Jedva Lake developed under the Anandam Parivar CSR fund.
At the same location, as well as in Jalund and Sardhav, he will also inaugurate newly established libraries developed under Toyota Kirloskar Motors Limited's CSR initiative.
At Khatraj, he will lay the foundation stone for lake beautification works undertaken by the Arvind Foundation. He will also inaugurate a newly constructed village panchayat office.
Further engagements include the inauguration of the Pay Centre Primary School at Moti Bhoyan, as well as the foundation stone laying and inauguration of various development works in Sonipur village and in areas under the Kalol and Gandhinagar North assembly constituencies.
During the visit to Sonipur, Shah is also scheduled to have lunch at the residence of former sarpanch and senior BJP worker Gandaji Thakor.
Later, at the state party headquarters "Shri Kamalam", a meeting of senior BJP office-bearers will be held in his presence.
He is also scheduled to inaugurate the CBSE regional office at the Chandkheda area of Ahmedabad and a newly constructed hostel building at the Umiyadham campus in Sola.
In Ahmedabad, the newly constructed "Bharat Mata" sculpture developed by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation at New Vadaj will be inaugurated.
This will be followed by a review meeting at the Circuit House on preparations for the Olympic, Commonwealth, and World Police and Fire Games, which will be chaired by Shah.
After completing the scheduled programmes on Thursday, he is expected to travel to Bhuj in Kutch. The visit continues on Friday with additional engagements as part of the two-day programme across Gujarat.

Another VIP visit with a packed schedule—inaugurations, foundation stones, meetings. Meanwhile, common people in these villages still struggle with water shortages and poor roads. I wish our leaders would spend more time listening to local issues than cutting ribbons. But yes, the CSR initiatives from Toyota and Arvind Foundation are positive steps. 👏
Nice to see the BJP focusing on local development. The Bharat Mata sculpture in Ahmedabad sounds impressive—should boost tourism and national pride. Also, the review meeting for Olympic and Police Games preparation shows long-term planning. But I hope the party also addresses rising unemployment and inflation in Gujarat. Modiji's home state needs to set an example in all parameters. 🇮🇳
Amit Shah is clearly working hard for his constituency. 10+ events in two days is no joke. The CBSE regional office inauguration is great for students—no need to travel to other cities for board work. Also, the Umiyadham hostel will help pilgrims. But why is he having lunch at a former sarpanch's house? That seems a bit too political, yaar. 🙄
I appreciate the CSR-driven projects—Jedva Lake, libraries, school inauguration. But why are private companies (Toyota, Arvind Foundation) doing what the government should be responsible for? This shows the state's limitations despite having a powerful Home Minister as the local MP. Still, any development is welcome for rural Gujarat. Let's see if these projects are maintained properly.
Lunch at a senior BJP worker's home—typical political hospitality. But seriously, these development projects should be for
