After the Indian-Americans were seen taking part in the massive pomp and show at Howdy Modi in Houston, US President Trump and PM Modi will reunite in Ahmedabad, India for Kem Cho Trump. India is all set to roll out the red carpet for US President Donald Trump for his February 24-25 visit. As per the recent reports, both the leaders are expected to participate in a grand roadshow in Ahmedabad and also tour the Sabarmati Ashram.
The leaders are also likely to inaugurate the newly built Motera cricket stadium, sources told PTI on Wednesday. Sources have also informed that the grand roadshow, planned along a 10-km decked-up stretch from the Ahmedabad airport to the Sabarmati Ashram, will have both President Trump and PM Modi leading the crowd in the latter's home state Gujarat. The US President would then visit the Sabarmati Ashram, which served as an epicentre of the country's freedom struggle during Mahatma Gandhi's stay there.
