Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for various infrastructure and development projects worth Rs 29,000 crore during his two-day visit to Gujarat beginning Thursday. The projects include the world's first CNG (compressed natural gas) terminal at Bhavnagar, Metro Phase-I in Ahmedabad and Phase-I of Diamond Research and Mercantile (Dream) City in Surat, an official release issued by the Gujarat government said on Wednesday.

During the visit, the Prime Minister will flag off the 'Gandhinagar-Mumbai Central Vande Bharat Express train' and will also inaugurate the 36th National Games, which are being held in Gujarat for the first time. Assembly elections are due in Modi's home state of Gujarat later this year. The BJP, which has been ruling Gujarat for almost three decades, is making every effort to retain power.

Modi will reach Ambaji town in Banaskantha district in the evening and launch various projects worth Rs 7,200 crore. Then after addressing a gathering, he will perform 'aarti' at the famous Ambaji temple.
