While the Congress Vice President's rally held at Dakshinpuri area in South Delhi on November 17 witnessed a poor turnout, thousands of people gathered to hear Modi address his last rally in Delhi before the Assembly elections.

The excitement of people was so palpable that they got restless when former BJP President and Delhi in-charge Nitin Gadkari took a little long to end his address, the crowd forced him to cut short his speech as they started shouting Modi's name until he came to address the gathering.
