Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel will be in New Delhi on Saturday to attend the 10th meeting of the Governing Council of NITI Aayog, the central policy think tank headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The meeting, to be chaired by the Prime Minister, will bring together Chief Ministers of all states, Lieutenant Governors of Union Territories, and several Union Ministers.

The Governing Council serves as NITI Aayog's top decision-making body and focuses on key issues related to national development, cooperative federalism, and sectoral policies involving both central and state governments.

During the two-day visit, beginning Saturday, CM Patel will participate in a Chief Ministers' conclave, being held in the wake of Operation Sindoor.

Sources indicate that following the meeting, Chief Minister Patel is likely to hold discussions regarding Prime Minister Modi's upcoming visit to Gujarat on May 26 and 27, which is expected to include key public events and project inaugurations in the state.

During his visit, Prime Minister Modi is expected to arrive at the Naliya Airbase in Kutch, where he will interact with soldiers stationed at the forward base near the Indo-Pak border.

PM Modi is also likely to offer prayers at the revered Mata Ashapura temple before addressing a large public gathering in Bhuj.

As part of his focus on infrastructure and indigenous manufacturing, Prime Minister Modi is also expected to visit Dahod, where he will inaugurate a 9,000-horsepower engine manufactured at the Indian Railways' diesel locomotive plant.

Additionally, the Prime Minister is set to launch several development projects across Gujarat via video conferencing during the two-day tour.

Good to see Gujarat CM attending such important meetings. NITI Aayog's focus on cooperative federalism is crucial for balanced development across states. Hope our CM brings up Gujarat's infrastructure needs, especially in border areas like Kutch. 🤞

The PM's visit to Naliya Airbase shows how important our border security is. While development projects are welcome, we must not forget our brave soldiers guarding the frontier with Pakistan. Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan!

That 9,000-horsepower engine inauguration in Dahod is impressive! Make in India is showing results. But I hope NITI Aayog also discusses job creation - Gujarat's youth need more employment opportunities beyond just big ticket projects.

While PM visiting temples gets attention, I hope the development projects actually reach common people. Many villages in Gujarat still lack basic facilities. NITI Aayog should monitor implementation, not just announcements.

Operation Sindoor aftermath discussion is crucial. Gujarat being a border state faces unique security challenges. Hope CM Patel raises this in the meeting - we need better coordination between state police and central forces.

Excited for PM's visit! 🙌 But hope they don't just focus on Kutch-Bhuj region. Saurashtra and South Gujarat also need attention. The locomotive plant is good, but what about small industries that employ more people?
