**Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra –** Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Shivttirth today proved to be a sparsely attended affair, despite extensive campaigning by the ruling coalition. Images and videos circulating widely on social media show numerous empty seats in the venue, leading to a flurry of posts criticizing the event’s low turnout. The contrast between the anticipated crowd and the actual attendance has generated considerable online discussion.

The absence of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, who publicly opposed the BJP’s “Batenge toh katenge” slogan, further fueled speculation. While PM Modi spoke about various projects including the Navi Mumbai airport, Atal Setu, semiconductor projects and data centers, and mentioned the contribution of Loknete D.B.

The rally was held at Kharghar’s Central Ground.
