The union minister will also request the farmers to adopt organic farming of vegetables. These vegetables should be packed and sold at the doorsteps of households. We are expecting over 1 lakh people to attend the event.”

Sources said that along with Union Minister Shah, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, state BJP president C R Paatil, and state cabinet ministers will also attend the meeting.

Surat district BJP president Sandeep Desai said, “We have extended an invitation to around 6000 co-operative bodies in Surat and South Gujarat, to remain present in the event. We are ready with all necessary arrangement to make this event a historical one.”

The event was planned twice before , but were later cancelled due to various reasons.

The event was first planned to be held on January 16 and later on February 19. However, it was postponed due to the busy schedule of the union minister.

Shah was likely to attend the BJP party leaders meeting in Surat at Vanita Vishram ground, on November 24 last year. Due to his busy schedule, the union minister remained present virtually and addressed the gathering. In his speech he had said that state BJP president C R Paatil, and party leaders of Surat should organize another meeting in Surat, in next month (December), and he will definitely come.
