  "account": "The Gujarat BJP has planned a range of events to commemorate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of public service. These events include motorcycle rallies from Vadnagar in Gujarat to Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh and back, as well as the carrying of water from various rivers in Gujarat to perform a ceremonial water ritual at Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi. The bike rallies will see around 500 members of the BJP's youth wing in the state riding 250 bikes, carrying water from the state's rivers. On the return journey, Ganga water will be brought from Varanasi to Vadnagar to perform a similar ceremony at the Hatkeshwar Mahadev temple. The event coincides with the birthday of Modi, who has been in public office for 25 years. The Gujarat BJP has also organized several other programmes, such as 'Ashirwad No Deevdo' where beneficiary families of government schemes will light a lamp to express gratitude for Modi's service, and various competitions, exhibitions, and street plays to showcase the vision of a developed India.",
