Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the state, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said he will only welcome PM Modi through his tweet since his pre-scheduled address from the program in Sikar was allegedly removed by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Today you are visiting Rajasthan. Your office PMO has removed my pre-scheduled 3-minute address from the program, so I will not be able to welcome you through speech, so I heartily welcome you to Rajasthan through this tweet," CM Gehlot took to Twitter and said in Hindi.

You are most welcome to join today’s programme," PMO tweeted.
