On October 2014 and Novemmber 2015, Shri Modi had addressed similar events. Here the PM had presented his opinion for organising such gatherings post Diwali. Shri Modi, when he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat, used to interact with several journalists at such occasions and has carried the practice forward after becoming the Prime Minister.
