Between November 27 to 29, the PM is expected to address as many as eight rallies across Saurashtra and south Gujarat, where polling for the first phase of assembly elections will be held on December 9.
Prior to his visit, a horde of Union Ministers and Chief Ministers of BJP-ruled states will tour and campaign across all the 89 constituencies for the first phase.

On November 29, he would be back in the state to address poll rallies in Saurashtra at Morbi and Prachi villages near Somnath, Palitana in Bhavnagar and at Navsari in south Gujarat.
