Prime Minister Narendra Modi will arrive in Gujarat on Friday morning on a two-day visit during which he is scheduled to launch a host of projects, including the famed seaplane service between Kevadiya and Ahmedabad, said an official on Thursday.

In a slight change in the original schedule, Modi is expected to visit the grieving family of former Gujarat Chief Minister Keshubhai Patel in Gandhinagar after his arrival at the Ahmedabad airport.

The 92-year-old BJP stalwart died on Thursday morning due to prolonged illness.

The PM will then leave for Kevadiya in Narmada district.

This will be Modi's first visit to his home state since the coronavirus outbreak in Gujarat in March-end.

According to the official, Modi would take a helicopter ride from the Ahmedabad airport to reach Kevadiya.

During his trip, Modi would also pay tributes to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel at the 'Statue of Unity' near Kevadiya on the occasion of birth anniversary of the first home minister of independent India on October 31, said the official.
