Modi was seen waving towards the supporters. His car was drenched in flowers thrown by the people gathered there.
The Prime Minister is set to have a night halt in Guwahati on Tuesday. He will review the progress of various central government projects in Assam in a meeting with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and his cabinet colleagues.
