Piyush Goyal, BJP candidate and Union Minister, conducted a roadshow in Mumbai North constituency from Chincholi IB petrol pump to Marve Road.

The roadshow spanned four hours, starting at 9 am and concluding at 1 pm, allowing ample time for interaction with residents and supporters along the route.

During the roadshow, Goyal interacted with people, discussing various issues and garnering support for the BJP's agenda and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership.

Goyal expressed confidence in Prime Minister Modi's leadership, stating that the public has decided to re-elect him with a significant majority, aiming for over 400 seats in the Lok Sabha to achieve the vision of a developed India by its 100th year of independence.

Goyal criticised the Congress party, asserting that it lacks substantial policies and is on the decline, highlighting its failure to field a candidate for the Mumbai North seat as evidence of its dwindling influence.

Earlier, Goyal emphasised the success of the Modi government, proclaiming that the country is secure and progressing towards prosperity under his leadership, while asserting the failure of the opposition to provide a viable alternative.
