It was a new experience for people living in villages near Pakistan border in Banaskantha and those at Ratanpur in Patan and at Amirgagadh in Mehsana.
District collector Banaskantha, RJ Patel, who was camping in Iqbalgadh said, “As many as 500 people could not hide their surprise when Chief Minister Narendra Modi began giving replies to their questions online.” [Via]
