Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Mumbai on Wednesday. During his visit to the Maximum City, the Prime Minister will meet MLAs of the BJP-led Mahayuti government. Giving information about PM Modi’s visit, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that he is coming to Mumbai to guide Mahayuti MLAs after the landslide victory in the Maharashtra polls held last year in November.
“PM Modi is coming to Mumbai (on January 15) and will guide the Mahayuti MLAs. People have given us a landslide mandate—and hence, our responsibility has also increased… Today, we had a meeting, and we discussed our party’s organization and decisions—we also discussed upcoming local body elections… The PM has continuously supported our government, and that’s the reason our government did well in the last two and a half years, and that’s why people have given us such a huge majority,” Shinde said after the party’s meeting concluded.
On Wednesday, PM Modi will be in Mumbai to dedicate three frontline naval combatants, INS Surat, INS Nilgiri, and INS Vaghsheer, to the nation on their commissioning at the Naval Dockyard. The commissioning of 3 major naval combatants marks a significant leap forward in realizing India’s vision of becoming a global leader in defence manufacturing and maritime security, according to an official release from PMO.

INS Surat, the fourth and final ship of the P15B Guided Missile Destroyer Project, ranks among the largest and most sophisticated destroyers in the world. It has an indigenous content of 75% and is equipped with state-of-the-art weapon-sensor packages and advanced network-centric capabilities.

The project, spread over nine acres, includes a temple with several deities, a Vedic education centre, proposed museums and an auditorium, a healing centre, among others. It aims to promote universal brotherhood, peace, and harmony through Vedic teachings, the release stated.
