00:26and the available seats were fully booked within an hour.
00:30With around 42,000 people subsequently placed on waiting lists.
00:34The BJP has now turned the response to the event into a political talking point
00:38drawing a contrast with the leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi's recent Pune event.
00:43BJP has claimed that Prime Minister Modi does not merely win votes
00:46but also commands the hearts of people
00:49pointing to the rapid registration for the Vadoodra event as evidence of genuine public enthusiasm.
00:55It has also alleged that influencers were paid to attend Rahul Gandhi's Pune event.
