Modi to first offer prayers at Mata nou Madh temple in Kutch

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who begins his whirlwind campaign from the desert district of Kutch that was devastated in the January 26, 2001, earthquake, will first offer prayers at Mata nou Madh temple that falls in the Abdasa constituency. 

The significance of the visit to this temple of local deity Ashapura Mata is that it is located in an area with a sizeable Muslim population. Local sources say even one visit by Modi there will pep up the Hindu population in the area. 

The rally is in Bhuj but all BJP contestants from Kutch district would be on the podium with Modi.
