We connected all the places they stayed at simultaneously to this event and performed Yoga. Besides this, Yoga was also performed at 700 institutions of Pune Vidyapeeth. So, a grand event has been organised. I want to express gratitude to PM Narendra Modi that our ancient culture, lifestyle, medical practice where mind and body are both thought about, which is called holistic healing today; Yoga has that capability and that has been adopted by all countries globally, with the efforts of PM Modi...,” said Devendra Fadnavis.
