Though he missed the city's Rathyatra this time, yet Prime Minister Narendra Modi's fans took out a huge tableau of him and made his presence felt in the procession of Lord Jagannath's chariot.
The popularity of the former Chief Minister of Gujarat was witnessed with the screams and slogans of "Modi Modi," when a tableau showing a man wearing a mask, which was a look alike of Modi, passed through the procession.
The tableau also showed the man (Modi look alike) displaying the sign of victory standing in a replica of Parliament, indicating the win he got in the recent Lok Sabha polls.
'Modi' was also shown among the 'SAARC' leaders while showing a gesture of friendship.
