"At 9.30 (a.m.) tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, a plane will land on the waters right here at the Sabarmati Riverfront and fly Narendra Modi to land on the Dharoi dam waters (in north Gujarat)," the Prime Minister announced here on Monday evening.
"From there, Modi will go to the Ambaji Temple to offer prayers and come back right here and land on the waters."
The Prime Minister was speaking of a sea-plane, which he said, would fly for the first time in India. "The Congress can't even imagine development work like this," he said.
He added that as many as 106 such water-ways had been planned in the country.
Minutes later, at 10 pm, national BJP president Amit Shah called a one-line press conference at the BJP's specially created election media centre to make the same announcement.
"This is a scheduled event which will happen on time at 9.30 am tomorrow (Tuesday)."
