PM Modi In Mumbai Today: Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated three frontline naval combatants INS Surat, INS Nilgiri and INS Vaghsheer to the nation at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai on Wednesday. The Prime Minister is scheduled to attend a series of events today. PM Modi will inaugurate ISKCON Temple at Kharghar in Navi Mumbai, following which he will meet MLAs from the Bharatiya Janata Party-led Mahayuti who recently won the Maharashtra assembly election.

The three ships represent India's growing prowess in defence manufacturing and maritime security. The ships all mark the next generation of indigenous production in India's naval fleet. At 3:30 pm, the prime minister will inaugurate the Sri Sri Radha Madanmohanji Temple, an ISKCON project in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai.

PM Modi will also meet Mahayuti alliance MLAs in Mumbai, said Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde, as quoted by news agency ANI.

“PM Modi is coming to Mumbai and will guide the Mahayuti MLAs. People have given us a landslide mandate - and hence, our responsibility has also increased. The PM has continuously supported our govt and that's the reason our govt did well in the last two and half years and that's why people have given us such a huge majority,” Eknath Shinde said.
