Gandhinagar: Prime Minister Narendrabhai Modi never misses an opportunity to remember, mention and promote Gujarat whenever opportunity arises.

On the eve of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s Jayanti which is going to be marked for the first time as Parakram Divas, the Prime Minister said his mind “goes back to 233d January 2009 – the day we launched e-Gram Vishwagram Project from Haripura. This initiative revolutionized Gujarat’s IT infrastructure and took the fruits of technology to the poor, in the remotest parts of the state.”

“I can never forget the affection of the people of Haripura, who took me through an elaborate procession on the same road as Netaji Bose was taken, in 1938. His procession included a decorated chariot drawn by 51 bullocks. I also visited the place where Netaji stayed in Haripura,” the Prime Minister said further in series of tweets.

The Prime Minister pointed out the importance of Haripura in Gujarat and its connection to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

He tweeted, “Haripura has a special relation with Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. It was at the historic Haripura Session of 1938 that Netaji Bose took up the Presidentship of the Congress Party. Tomorrow’s programme at Haripura will be a tribute to Netaji Bose’s contribution to our nation.”

The Prime Minister announced a special programme scheduled tomorrow at Haripura in Gujarat and asked people to join.

He tweeted, “Tomorrow, India will mark #ParakramDivas, the Jayanti of the great Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Among the various programmes being organised across the nation, one special programme is being held at Haripura in Gujarat. Do join the programme, which begins at 1 PM.”
