The cavalcade of the prime minister, who was in the city to attend Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur’s swearing-in ceremony, made a surprise stop outside the Indian Coffee House. Ignoring security concerns, Modi came out of his car and headed straight inside with huge crowds assembled outside.
The Indian Coffee House was a favourite place for Modi during his eight year tenure as incharge of BJP affairs for Himachal and he had during his rally at Shimla on April 27 made a special reference to it. He even named few journalists who would join him at the coffee house.
Governor Acharya Devvrat had hosted a lunch for the prime minister and other dignitaries. However, Modi did not stay back for lunch and left after having his favourite coffee.
