Ahmedabad, April 23, 2022 (PPI-OT):A video has gone viral on social media exposing the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi’s ‘Gujarat Model’ of development. The video shows that during the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson’s visit, wide white sheets were put on the sides of the roads of Ahmedabad through which he passed.

Johnson reached Gujarat on Thursday morning on his two-day visit, the first by a UK Prime Minister to the Indian state, which witnessed anti-Muslim riots in 2002 during the tenure of Narendra Modi as chief minister.

In the video, it can be seen that on the sides of the roads of Ahmedabad through which Johnson passed, wide white sheets were put just like a white sheet is placed over a dead body. It is being said that these white sheets were put to hide slums from the sight of Boris Johnson.

After these images went viral, Gujarat’s development model has been mocked on social media. Filmmaker Vinod Kapri has shared the video on his Twitter handle. Along with this, he has also questioned Narendra Modi.

Vinod Kapri has written, “For 12 years you were the Chief Minister of Gujarat, for 8 years you are the Prime Minister of the country. Still, what is it that you are ashamed to show to Boris Johnson?”

A user named Dax Patel has written, “Overwhelmed Vikas is covered with a white cloth wall in Ahmedabad, so that Boris Johnson could not copy.”

It is worth mentioning here that in February 2020 also, a similar sight was seen when the then US President, Donald Trump, visited Gujarat. Then a wall was built in front of the roadside slums in Ahmedabad. This was done so that these slums are not visible to Trump. Something similar was also done when Chinese President, Xi Jinping reached Ahmedabad. At that time green cloths were put on the roadside to cover the huts.
