Wherever he goes, he creates history. Such is the charisma of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that people start to dance to his tune whether it is India, Nepal, Japan, US, or Australia. It is not just the world leaders who have been greatly impressed by the magnetic persona of Modi. He was the most sought after leader during the annual G-20 summit. People of Indian community in Australia are going gaga over him. Enthusiastic supporters of Modi are taking a 12 hour journey from Melbourne to Sydney on a special train called Modi express where he will address a large gathering of Indian Diaspora.

Australian Minister flagged of the special train

This special train was flagged of by Matthew Guy, Multicultural Minister in Tony Abbott government. Matthew said that this visit by the Indian PM is significant not only for the Indians living in Australia but also to strengthen Indo-Australian relations. These 200 people on this train will be joined by thousands more when Modi address Indian community in Sydney. It looks like Modi the Rockstar will steal the thunder once again as he did at Madison Square in New York. It is hard to believe that there is a special train decorated with tricolor balloons and posters of Narendra Modi here in Australia.

Passengers kept singing and dancing all night

During the 12 hour journey, passengers were served Gujarati food items among which were Dhokla and Fafda, two of the dishes that are Modi’s favorites. Hundreds of Indians arrived from nearby Victoria just to catch a glimpse of the Indian PM and to wave off the train and the passengers. Many of the passengers said that they were touched by the gesture of the Indian PM as he chose to complete the journey on a train and not by an airplane which is customary for world leaders.
